suitable wrench to adjust rebound damping.
Turn the adjuster (3) on fork leg bottom with a flat
screwdriver to adjust compression damping.
As you turn the adjusting screws (1 and 3), you will
hear them click. Each click identifies a setting. By
turning the screw all the way until it stops, you will
arrive at position "0", which corresponds to the
maximum damping. Starting from this position and
by rotating counterclockwise, you can count the
clicks.
To adjust the preload of the spring inside each leg, turn
the hexagonal adjuster (2, fig. 62) using a 0.9 in (22
mm) box wrench starting from the fully open position
(clockwise). From reference (A, fig. 62), every full turn
clockwise corresponds to 0.04 in (1 mm) of preload of
