Adjustment
CAUTION
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE ADJUSTER SCREWS (1 -
2), NEVER FORCE THEM BEYOND THE END OF TRAVEL
IN EITHER DIRECTION. SET BOTH STEMS WITH THE
SAME HYDRAULIC DAMPING SETTING: RIDING THE VE-
HICLE WITH DIFFERENT SETTINGS FOR THE TWO STAN-
CHIONS REDUCES STABILITY. WHEN SPRING PRELOAD
IS INCREASED, REBOUND DAMPING MUST ALSO BE IN-
CREASED TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE SUSPENSION KICK-
BACK WHEN RIDING.
The standard setting of the front fork is adjusted so as to satisfy all main high and low speed riding
conditions, both with reduced and full vehicle load. It is at any rate possible to insert personal settings,
depending on vehicle usage.
