Suspension Adjustment
Front Fork Adjustment
A shock has two main actions: compression when
the shock gets compressed, and rebound when the
shock returns back to full length. Compression
damping is the adjustment that determines how fast
or slow the fork compresses. Rebound damping is
the adjustment that determines how fast or slow the
fork rebounds.
1. Bleed Screw - The small Allen screw (A) at the
top of the fork leg is the “bleed” screw. The bleed
screw serves two purposes:
•
Transporting your motorcycle. See Transporting
on page 1-11.
•
Bleeding the fork: Bleed the fork regularly, let
any excess air out after each ride.
2. Rebound Damping - The rebound damping is
adjusted by turning the slotted brass adjuster
screw (B) on the top of both fork legs. Next to it
will be the writing S-F, meaning Slow and Fast.
The adjuster has 18 stages of adjustment. This
determines how quickly the fork returns to its
extended position after being compressed.
Turning the rebound adjuster screw clockwise will
slow the rebound speed down making it better for
larger, rolling terrain or bumps. Turning the
rebound adjuster screw counter-clockwise will
increase the rebound speed making it better for
smaller, rougher bumps. Adjust each fork leg
evenly.
