Compression Damping
You can adjust the compression damping by
the adjuster to suit the load or the road
surface.
Turn clockwise to increase compression
damping (hard), or turn counterclockwise to
decrease compression damping (soft). The
standard position is 14 clicks from the
maximum setting so that the punch mark on
the adjuster aligns with the reference punch
mark.
