▣ ▣ DAMPING FORCE ADJUSTMENT
The compression and tension damping force are
adjustable for rider's preference, rider's weight and
field condition.
NOTE
Do not turn the adjuster screws more than given
position, or the adjuster may be damaged.
1. Compression damping force
To adjust the compression damping force turn in the
adjuster ①
fully for "S" or "H" direction (counter-
clockwise or clockwise).
Count the number of turns from the fully turned-in
position.
Fully turned-in "H" direction (or clockwise) provides
stiffest compression damping force and turning "S"
direction (or counter-clockwise) the adjuster will soft-
en compression damping force.
