Start with the rebound damping (Fig.14)
If the vehicle feels unstable, loose and rather bouncy
then the rebound damping should be increased.
Begin by turning the adjusting knob 4 steps (clicks)
clockwise, according to page 7. Test run again and
adjust two steps back if it feels too hard and bumpy.
If the vehicle is hard and bumpy, especially over a
series of bumps, then the rebound damping should
be reduced. Turn counter-clockwise 4 steps, test
run and make any necessary correction by 2 steps.
Compression damping (Fig.15)
If the vehicle feels soft, has low riding position
and a tendency to bottom easily in long dips then
the compression damping should be increased.
Screw clockwise 4 steps and test run again. If
this was too much then turn back two steps
(counter-clockwise).
If the vehicle feels harsh and has hard resil-
ience, e.g., over changes in the riding surface,
then the compression damping must be reduced.
Turn anticlockwise 4 steps. Test run and make
any necessary correction to two steps.
When you have sufficient feel of the vehicle
then you can make further fine adjustments. It is
feeling and experience that counts.
NOTE!
Ensure that the springs are properly preloaded be-
fore attempting to make any adjustments. A simple
rule is that increased preload of the spring should
be followed by an increase of rebound damping.
When you feel that you have achieved an im-
provement, go back to where you started and
check once more. Be observant of other relevant
factors such as tires, temperature, etc. Test run
to make sure whether further fine adjustment
should be made.
WARNING!
Never alter gas pressure. Special purpose charg-
ing equipment and access to a nitrogen source
is required. The gas pressure should normally
never be altered.
