Adjusting the front fork

For XT660Z:
This front fork is equipped with spring
preload adjusting bolts.
WARNING
Always adjust both fork legs
equally, otherwise poor handling
and loss of stability may result.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting bolt on each fork leg in
direction (a). To decrease the spring
preload and thereby soften the sus-
pension, turn the adjusting bolt on
each fork leg in direction (b).
