Adjusting the front fork

Always adjust both fork legs equally,
otherwise poor handling and loss of
stability may result.
This front fork is equipped with spring
preload adjusting bolts, rebound
damping force adjusting screws, com-
pression damping force adjusting bolts
(for fast compression damping) and
compression damping force adjusting
bolts (for slow compression damping).

Use extra care to avoid scratch-
ing the anodized finish when
making suspension adjust-
ments.
To avoid damaging the suspen-
sion’s internal mechanisms, do
not attempt to turn beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.
Spring preload
Turn the adjusting bolt in direction (a)
to increase the spring preload.
Turn the adjusting bolt in direction (b)
to decrease the spring preload.
The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A,
shown in the illustration. The shorter
distance A is, the higher the spring pre-
load; the longer distance A is, the lower
the spring preload.
