Compression damping force
Compression damping force (for fast
compression damping)
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting bolt in
direction (a). To decrease the compres-
sion damping force and thereby soften
the compression damping, turn the ad-
justing bolt in direction (b).
Compression damping force (for slow
compression damping)
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting bolt in
direction (a). To decrease the compres-
sion damping force and thereby soften
the compression damping, turn the ad-
justing bolt in direction (b).
1. Rebound damping force adjusting screw
Rebound damping setting:
Minimum (soft):
20 click(s) in direction (b)*
Standard:
15 click(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
3 click(s) in direction (b)*
* With the adjusting screw fully turned
in direction (a)
