Spring Preload Adjustment; Rebound Adjustment - Husqvarna TC 250 2010 Workshop Manual

FRONT SUSPENSION

Spring preload adjustment

Spring preload can be adjusted after removing the cartridge inside the fork leg
(see paragraph 4.6). Closely follow the procedure outlined below:
Slide the preload adjuster (7) towards the bottom end of the cartridge so as to
expose the metal ring groove.
Prise the metal ring (26) out of its groove using a small flat head screwdriver.
Placing the metal ring in a different groove will increase or decrease spring preload
accordingly. Grooves are spaced to give 5 mm setting steps (see figure).
WARNING
Be careful not to damage components when removing and installing the
metal ring. If the cartridge, or especially the ring groove, show even minor
damage, do not use the fork and contact a Marzocchi service centre without
delay. Do not distort the metal ring.

Rebound adjustment

Rebound damping is adjusted by turning the adjuster (R).
The rebound adjuster controls rebound speed after the fork is compressed.
Each fork leg has its adjuster at the bottom of the axle carrier.
Proper rebound setting improves motorcycle stability and enables the wheel to
smoothly absorb bumps.
To adjust rebound damping, always start from the fully closed position
(adjuster turned fully clockwise) and note the number of clicks. Each
setting position is identified by a "click".
Adjust turning the adjuster with a flat head screwdriver.
Turn the adjuster (R) clockwise to increase rebound damping for slower re-
bound.
Turn the adjuster (R) counter clockwise to decrease rebound damping for faster
rebound.
WARNING
Never attempt to turn the adjuster beyond its limit.
