Front Fork Tuning Procedure
Test ride the motorcycle and find out how the front suspension reacts
on various types of surface. According to the symptom noticed, adjust
the front fork to the best setting for rider and race track conditions. To
adjust, attempt changing fork oil capacity and compression and
rebound damping force following the instructions below.
NOTE:
•
When adjusting the front fork oil capacity, make sure that the oil
capacity is within the specified range. Also, the capacity should be
increased or decreased by 1 ml (0.034 US oz).
•
When adjusting the damping force, attempt turning the adjuster 1 to
2 click stops at a time for each adjustment.
