To adjust the compression damping
force (for slow compression damping)
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the com-
pression damping, turn the adjusting
bolt on each fork leg in direction (a). To
decrease the compression damping
force and thereby soften the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting bolt
on each fork leg in direction (b).
TIP
Although the total number of clicks or
turns of a damping force adjusting
mechanism may not exactly match the
above specifications due to small dif-
ferences in production, the actual
number of clicks or turns always repre-
sents the entire adjusting range. To ob-
tain a precise adjustment, it would be
advisable to check the number of
clicks or turns of each damping force
adjusting mechanism and to modify
the specifications as necessary.
