INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS

Adjusting the front fork

WARNING
Always adjust both fork legs equally,
otherwise poor handling and loss of
stability may result.
This front fork is equipped with re-
4
bound damping force adjusting screws
and compression damping force ad-
justing screws.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.
Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping
force and thereby harden the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting screw on
each fork leg in direction (a). To de-
crease the rebound damping force and
thereby soften the rebound damping,
turn the adjusting screw on each fork
leg in direction (b).
