2.29.2 ADJUSTING THE FRONT FORK
The standard setting of the front fork is such as to satisfy
most driving conditions at low and high speed, either with
reduced load and full load.
However, it is possible to adjust the setting according to
how the vehicle is going to be used.
a
CAUTION
For the adjustment, always start from the most rigid
setting [complete clockwise rotation of the adjusters
(1-2)].
Do not force the rotation of the adjusters (1) (2) be-
yond the end of stroke in both directions, in order to
avoid any damage.
Use the notches (1-2) provided on the adjusters as
reference marks for the adjustment of the hydraulic
braking with compressed and extended shock ab-
sorber.
Give the adjusters (1-2) 1/8 turn at a time and turn the
adjusting nut (3) one notch at a time.
Test the vehicle repeatedly on the road, until obtain-
ing the optimal adjustment.
Set the same spring preload and hydraulic braking
for both rods: a different setting of the rods decreas-
es the stability of the vehicle while riding.
When the spring preload is increased, it is necessary
to increase also the hydraulic braking, in order to
avoid sudden jerks while riding.
