ADJUSTMENT

SPRING PRELOAD

Spring preload determines COMPRESSION
damping and is adjusted by turning the
adjustment knob 

(2) 

on the top of the fork

legs. From the factory the fork is set at
minimum preload, i.e. the adjustment knob
completely unscrewed counterclockwise.
However, springs are slightly preloaded to
counteract static loads. By turning the ad-
justment knob clockwise, the preload is
increased up to the maximum value equal
to 15 mm spring preload. This adjustment is
essential in order to have the right fork
response for the rider’s weight and riding
style.

REBOUND ADJUSTMENT VIA
INNER PUMPING ROD
(only right leg)

The adjuster controlling REBOUND damp-
ing adjustment is accommodated inside
pumping rod 

(14) 

inside each fork leg.

To access the adjuster, unscrew the top cap

(5) 

and push the stanchions fully down (see

section DISASSEMBLY, 

Fig

1

).

Fit the supplied hexagon rod 

(C) 

into the

stanchion tube and into the adjuster inner
hole. Rotate the adjuster clockwise for harder
damping, counterclockwise to soften it.
Refit the cap 

(5) 

and tighten it to the

specified torque (see section REASSEMBLY,

Fig. 26

).

IMPORTANT: 

Do not remove the springs

or this will alter the amount of oil inside the
fork legs.
