Adjusting the front fork
EWA10181
Always adjust both fork legs equally,
otherwise poor handling and loss of
stability may result.
This front fork is equipped with re-
bound damping force adjusting screws
and compression damping force ad-
justing screws.
ECA10102
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.
Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping
force and thereby harden the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting screw on
each fork leg in direction (a). To de-
crease the rebound damping force and
thereby soften the rebound damping,
turn the adjusting screw on each fork
leg in direction (b).
Compression damping force
1. Remove the rubber cap by pulling
it out of the front fork leg.
2. To increase the compression
damping force and thereby hard-
en the compression damping, turn
the adjusting screw on each fork
leg in direction (a). To decrease
the compression damping force
and thereby soften the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting
screw on each fork leg in direction
(b).
3. Install the rubber cap.
