FORK REBOUND DAMPING
ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION
Adjust both forks to the same setting.
Rebound damping affects how quickly the fork
“rebounds” or returns to the fully extended position
after compression.
A rebound damping adjuster is located at the top
of each fork. The adjuster has 35 positions. Each
position can be identified by an audible “click” heard
when turning the adjustment screw. There are 8
clicks in each full revolution of the adjusting screw.
1. To set rebound damping to the standard
setting, turn the adjustment screw clockwise
until it will no longer turn. When the screw
stops, this is the harder position “0”.
CAUTION
Do not force the adjuster past the stop point.
2. Turn the adjuster counter clockwise counting
each “click” until the specified standard setting
for your vehicle is achieved. Consult the Model
Specification section in this owner’s manual.
