Adjusting the front fork

This front fork is equipped with spring
preload adjusting bolts.
WARNING
Always adjust both fork legs equal-
ly, otherwise poor handling and loss
of stability may result.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
1. Spring preload adjusting bolt
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting bolt on each fork leg in di-
rection (a). To decrease the spring pre-
load and thereby
suspension, turn the adjusting bolt on
each fork leg in direction (b).
