Adjusting The Shock Absorber Assembly - Yamaha FJR1300APX Owner's Manual

Compression damping force
1. Compression damping force adjusting screw
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting screw
on each fork leg in direction (a). To de-
crease the compression damping force
and thereby soften the compression
damping, turn the adjusting screw on
each fork leg in direction (b).
Compression damping setting:
Minimum (soft):
21 click(s) in direction (b)*
Standard:
12 click(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
1 click(s) in direction (b)*
* With the adjusting screw fully turned
in direction (a)
INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
CAUTION:
Never attempt to turn an adjusting
mechanism beyond the maximum or
minimum settings.
NOTE:
Although the total number of clicks of a
damping force adjusting mechanism
may not exactly match the above spec-
ifications due to small differences in
production, the actual number of clicks
always represents the entire adjusting
range. To obtain a precise adjustment,
it would be advisable to check the num-
ber of clicks of each damping force ad-
justing mechanism and to modify the
specifications as necessary.

To decrease the spring preload and
thereby soften the suspension, move
the spring preload adjusting lever in di-
rection (b). To increase the spring pre-
