Rebound damping force
The rebound damping force is adjust-
ed on the right front fork leg only.
To increase the rebound damping
force and thereby harden the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting knob in di-
rection (a). To decrease the rebound
damping force and thereby soften the
rebound damping, turn the adjusting
knob in direction (b).
Compression damping force
The compression damping force is ad-
justed on the right front fork leg only.
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the com-
pression damping, turn the adjusting
screw in direction (a). To decrease the
compression damping force and there-
by soften the compression damping,
turn the adjusting screw in direction (b).
Although the total number of clicks of a
damping force adjusting mechanism
may not exactly match the above
specifications due to small differences
in production, the actual number of
clicks always represents the entire ad-
justing range. To obtain a precise ad-
Spring preload setting:
Minimum (soft):
Distance A = 15.0 mm (0.59 in)
Standard:
Distance A = 10.0 mm (0.39 in)
Maximum (hard):
Distance A = 0.0 mm (0.00 in)
