ADJUSTMENTS
SPRING PRELOAD
The spring preload determines COMPRES-
SION damping and can be adjusted by
turning the knob
(19)
on top of the fork
legs. From the factory the fork is set at
minimum preload, i.e. the adjustment knob
completely unscrewed counterclockwise.
However, the springs are slightly preloaded
to help counteract static loads. By turning
the adjustment knob clockwise, the preload
is increased up to the maximum value equal
to 15 mm’s of spring preload. This adjust-
ment is essential in order to have the right
fork response for the rider’s weight and
riding style.
REBOUND ADJUSTMENT
(only right leg)
The right fork leg is equipped with an
adjuster screw
(9)
for REBOUND damp-
ing. Turning this adjuster clockwise into the
cartridge rod, changes the hydraulic set-
ting of the inner valves. In short, the amount
of adjustment applied on the piston in the
fluid determines the rate of damping.
To adjust, always start from the minimum
damping setting, i.e. unscrew completely
counterclockwise. About 8 turns - abt. 4 mm
of the adjustment - are possible.
REBOUND LIMITER
(only left leg)
In case of hard uphill path, fork leg rebound
can be locked for improved behavior.
Position the knob
(35)
on l.h. fork leg top
to “LOCK” to lock rebound limit in this
position; this also allows to decrease fork
leg height for optimal attitude uphill, thus
supporting suspension compression opera-
tion.
Reposition the knob to its original position
so that the fork will rebound and restart to
work as before.
WARNING:
do not position to
“LOCK” when riding downhill as
available travel might not be enough, thus
jeopardizing rider’s safety
