FRONT FORK
The front fork should always be adjusted for the rider´s weight and road con-
ditions. The adjustments must be performed in 4 steps:
-
Air pressure:
Air pressure a ff ects the fork travel. The air pressure increases
as the fork heats up, in other words it varies as a function of time of opera-
tion. We do not recommend using air pressure, because the suspension
has been designed to work without air pressure.
-
Rebound and compression dampening adjustment:
Turn the adjust-
ing screws clockwise to increase damping, turn it counterclockwise to re-
duce damping.
- Oil level adjustment: The e ff ects of higher or lower fork oil level are only
felt during the fi nal 100 mm of fork travel. A higher oil level will make
the fork rebound faster. The lower the oil level is the fork rebound will be
slower.
- Fork spring: Optional springs are available that are softer and sti ff er than
standard. There is also the possibility to adjust the spring preload.
Air Pressure
The standard air pressure in the fork is atmospheric air pressure. The air pres-
sure increases as the fork heats up, because of this the fork action becomes
harder.
- Using a stand under the frame, and stabilize the motorcycle.
- Place a support under the engine so that the front wheel is raised o ff the
ground.
- Remove the purge screw (A) at the top of the front fork to bleed the air
out.
Rebound Dampening Adjustment
- To adjust the rebound, turn and tighten the adjuster screw (B) located at
the top of the front fork.
- Adjust the rebound to suit the rider’s preference under determined condi-
tions.
Use the standard settings to adjust the rebound (turn it 11 positions coun-
terclockwise).
CAUTION
The left and right fork tubes must be at the same level and aligned with the
top bridge.
