Instrument and control functions

Adjusting the front fork

Always adjust the spring preload on
both fork legs equally, otherwise
poor handling and loss of stability
may result.
Each front fork leg is equipped with a
spring preload adjusting bolt. The right
front fork leg is equipped with a re-
bound damping force adjusting screw.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.
Spring preload
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
suspension, turn the adjusting bolt on
each fork leg in direction (b).
