6. SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT
Rebound Damping
The rebound damping adjuster has 17 positions or
more. Turning the adjuster screw one full turn clock-
wise advances the adjuster four positions. To adjust
the rebound damping to the standard setting, proceed
as follows:
Turn the adjuster clockwise until it will no longer turn
(lightly seats). This is the full hard position.
The adjuster is set in the standard position when the
adjuster is turned counterclockwise 4-7 clicks with the
punch marks on the adjuster and the shock absorber
aligned.
NOTE:
•
Rebound damping can be increased by turning the
adjuster clockwise.
CAUTION:
•
Be sure that the rebound adjuster is firmly located
in a detent, and not between positions.

Compression Damping
The compression damping may be adjusted in two
stages with separate adjusters.
The high speed damping adjuster is effective when
damping adjustment is desired for high speed opera-
tion. The low speed damping adjuster should be used
when damping adjustment is desired at relatively low
speeds.
The high speed damping can be adjusted by turning the
hexagonal portion of the compression adjuster.
To adjust the high speed compression damping to the
standard, proceed as follows:
Turn the adjuster clockwise until it will no longer turn
(lightly seats). This is the full hard position.
The adjuster is set in the standard position when the
adjuster is turned counterclockwise 1 11/12 – 2 5/12
turns and the punch marks on the adjuster and the
shock absorber are aligned.
The low speed damping can be adjusted by turning the
center screw of the compression adjuster.
The low speed compression adjuster has 13 positions
or more.
Turning the adjuster one full turn clockwise advances
the adjuster four position.
To adjust the compression damping to the standard,
proceed as follows:
Turn the adjuster clockwise until it will no longer turn
(lightly seats). This is the full hard position.
The adjuster is set in the standard position when the
adjuster is turned counterclockwise 8 clicks.
NOTE:
•
Both the high and low speed compression damping
can be increased by turning the appropriate ad-
juster clockwise.
•
Adjust the high speed compression adjuster each
1/12 turns.
CAUTION:
•
Be sure the low speed compression adjuster is
firmly located in a detent, and not between posi-
tions.
