Compression Damping
The compression damping is adjusted by turning a screw on the
bottom of each fork leg. Next to the screw are the letters “H”
meaning
Hard ( MAX , which is for slower compression) and “S”
meaning Soft ( MIN , which is for faster compression).
•
Turn the adjuster screw (A) clockwise for slower
compression.
•
To speed up compression, turn the adjuster screw
counter-clockwise.
Start with a middle setting and fine tune the compression from
there. Proper compression allows the tire to track the ground
over consecutive bumps. Compression that is set too slow will
pack-up (feel harsh over consecutive bumps), while
compression that is set too fast will cause the fork to bottom out
harshly. If the fork is bottoming out, turn the adjuster one click
at a time until the bottom-out stops. Adjust each fork leg evenly.
Note: Adjusters should never be forced completely “Soft” or
“Hard”; always leave one click of adjustment in either direction.
