The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A, shown
in the illustration. The shorter distance
A is, the higher the spring preload; the
longer distance A is, the lower the
spring preload.
Rebound damping force
The rebound damping force is adjusted
on the right front fork leg only.
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting screw in direction
(a). To decrease the rebound damping
force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting screw in di-
rection (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 compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting screw
in direction (a). To decrease the com-
pression damping force and thereby
soften the compression damping, turn
the adjusting screw in direction (b).
