Adjusting the front fork
WARNING
EWA14670
Always adjust the spring preload on
both fork legs equally, otherwise
poor handling and loss of stability
may result.
Each front fork leg is equipped with a
spring preload adjusting bolt, the right
front fork leg is equipped with a re-
bound damping force adjusting screw
and the left front fork leg with a com-
pression damping force adjusting
screw.
NOTICE
ECA10101
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.
Spring preload
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting bolt on each fork leg in di-
rection (a). To decrease the spring pre-
load and thereby soften the
suspension, turn the adjusting bolt on
each fork leg in direction (b).
Align the appropriate groove on the ad-
justing mechanism with the top of the
front fork collar.
