REBOUND ADJUSTMENT VIA
INNER PUMPING ROD
The adjuster controlling REBOUND damp-
ing adjustment is accommodated inside
pumping rod
(10)
inside each fork leg.
To access the adjuster, unscrew the top cap
(4)
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
(4)
and tighten it to the
specified torque (see section REASSEM-
BLY,
Fig. 24
).
IMPORTANT:
Do not remove the springs
or this will alter the amount of oil inside the
fork legs.
ADJUSTMENT
SPRING PRELOAD
Spring preload determines COMPRESSION
damping and is adjusted by turning the
adjustment knob
(3)
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.
