ADJUSTING THE FRONT FORK
(
)
The front fork is adjusted by the factory to be
suitable for most commonly encountered
competition conditions. However, it is possible
to adjust the fork setting to your preference,
and to accommodate the full range of
operating conditions that the vehicle is
intended to be used for.
CAUTION
When adjusting the front fork, always start
from the most rigid setting. This is the fully
clockwise position of the adjuster screws
(1) and (2).
Do not force the rotation of the adjuster
screws (1) and (2) beyond the end of the
stroke in either direction, in order to avoid
damaging the damping mechanism.
Use the number of clicks of the adjuster
screws (1) and (2) as reference marks for
the adjustment of hydraulic damping on
extension and compression.
Turn the adjuster screws (1) and (2) one
click at a time and turn the adjusting nut
(3) one turn at a time.
Make sure that the spring pre-load and
hydraulic damping, both on extension and
compression, is the same for both sides. A
different setting on each side will result in
instability.
When the spring pre-load is increased,
you must also increase the hydraulic
d a m p i n g , bo t h o n e x t e n s i o n a n d
compression, to avoid unsteady shock
action while riding.
