Adjusting the front fork

WARNING
Always adjust both fork legs equally,
otherwise poor handling and loss of
stability may result.
This front fork is equipped with spring
preload adjusting
damping force adjusting screws and
compression damping force adjusting
screws.
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 and thereby
suspension, turn the adjusting bolt on
each fork leg in direction (b).
