Note: Each front fork leg is equipped with a spring preload adjusting bolt, the right front fork leg is equipped with a rebound damping force adjusting screw and left front fork leg with a compression damping force adjusting screw.
Warnings!
- Always adjust both front fork legs evenly. Uneven adjustment can result in poor handling and loss of stability.
- Securely support the vehicle so that there is no danger of it falling over.
Spring preload
Cautions!
- Grooves are provided to indicate the adjustment position.
- Never go beyond the maximum or minimum adjustment positions.
1. Adjust:
- Spring preload
a. Turn the adjusting bolt «1» in direction «a» or «b».
Direction «a»: Spring preload is increased (suspension is harder).
Direction «b»: Spring preload is decreased (suspension is softer).
Spring preload adjusting positions:
- Minimum: 8
- Standard: 6
- Maximum: 0
Rebound damping (Right side front fork)
Cautions!
- Never go beyond the maximum or minimum adjustment positions.
- When assembling the front forks, be careful not to assemble them to the opposite position because there are two kinds of forks (for the rebound side and for the compression side).
1. Adjust:
- Rebound damping
a. Turn the adjusting screw «1» in direction «a» or «b».
Direction «a» (turn in): Rebound damping is increased (suspension is harder).
Direction «b» (turn out): Rebound damping is decreased (suspension is softer).
Rebound damping adjusting positions:
- Minimum 26 clicks in direction: «b»*
- Standard 15 clicks in direction: «b»*
- Maximum 1 clicks in direction: «b»*
* With the adjusting screw fully turned-in direction «a»
Compression damping (Left side front fork)
Cautions!
- Never go beyond the maximum or minimum adjustment positions.
- When assembling the front forks, be careful not to assemble them to the opposite position because there are two kinds of forks (for the rebound side and for the compression side).
1. Adjust:
- Compression damping
a. Turn the adjusting screw «1» in direction «a» or «b».
Direction «a» (turn in) Compression damping is increased (suspension is harder).
Direction «b» (turn out) Compression damping is decreased (suspension is softer).
Compression damping adjusting positions
- Minimum: 26 clicks in direction: «b»*
- Standard: 5 clicks in direction: «b»*
- Maximum: 1 clicks in direction: «b»*
* With the adjusting screw fully turned-in direction «a»
