The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A,
shown in the illustration. The shorter
distance A is, the higher the spring pre-
load; the longer distance A is, the lower
the spring preload.

INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
Spring preload setting:
Minimum (soft):
Distance A = 19.0 mm (0.75 in)
Standard:
Distance A = 14.0 mm (0.55 in)
Maximum (hard):
Distance A = 4.0 mm (0.16 in)
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).

Rebound damping setting:
Minimum (soft):
10 click(s) in direction (b)*
Standard:
8 click(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
1 click(s) in direction (b)*

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).
