Spring preload setting:
Minimum (soft):

Standard:
Distance A = 15.0 mm (0.59 in)
Maximum (hard):
Distance A = 5.0 mm (0.20 in)
Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping for-
ce and thereby harden the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting knob on
each fork leg in direction (a). To de-
crease the rebound damping force and
thereby soften the rebound damping,
turn the adjusting knob on each fork
leg in direction (b).

Rebound damping setting:
Minimum (soft):
22 click(s) in direction (b)*
Standard:
12 click(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
1 click(s) in direction (b)*
* With the adjusting knob fully turned
in direction (a)
Compression damping force
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the com-
pression damping, turn the adjusting
screw on each fork leg in direction (a).
To decrease the compression damp-
ing force and thereby soften the com-
pression damping, turn the adjusting
screw on each fork leg in direction (b).

TIP
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-
