stability may result.
This front fork is equipped with re-
bound damping force adjusting screws
and compression damping force ad-
justing screws.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the

force and thereby harden the re-
bound damping, turn the adjusting
screw on each fork leg in direction
(a). To decrease the rebound
damping force and thereby soften
the rebound damping, turn the ad-
justing screw on each fork leg in
direction (b).
