SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT
Front Forks - Empulse
Spring preload adjustment nuts (both forks). Adjusting the preload
lets you change the “unloaded” sag of the suspension system
• Turning the nut clockwise increases the spring preload and
reduces the “unloaded” sag of the suspension system.
• Turning the nut counter-clockwise decreases the spring preload
and increases the “unloaded” sag of the suspension system
To adjust the spring preload, always start from the minimum preload
position (nut turned fully counter-clockwise). Take note of number
of turns and adjust both forks equally.
Note: Factory setting= three full turns in from the full out position.
Rebound damping (right fork) - rotate the adjuster screw clockwise
to stiffen the damping (+) and counter-clockwise to soften it (-).
Note: Factory setting= two full turns out from the full in position.
Compression damping (left fork) - rotate the adjuster screw clockwise
to stiffen the damping (+) and counter-clockwise to soften it (-).
Note: Factory setting= two full turns out from the full in position.
