Rebound damping force
The rebound damping force is adjusted
on the right front fork leg only.
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting screw in direction
(a). To decrease the rebound damping
force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting screw in di-
rection (b).
Compression damping force
The compression damping force is ad-
justed on the right front fork leg only.
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting screw
in direction (a). To decrease the com-
pression damping force and thereby
soften the compression damping, turn
the adjusting screw in direction (b).
TIP
Although the total number of clicks of a
damping force adjusting mechanism
may not exactly match the above spec-
ifications due to small differences in
production, the actual number of clicks
always represents the entire adjusting
range. To obtain a precise adjustment,
it would be advisable to check the num-
Spring preload setting:
Minimum (soft):
Distance A = 14.0 mm (0.55 in)
Standard:
Distance A = 11.0 mm (0.43 in)
Maximum (hard):
Distance A = 4.0 mm (0.16 in)
