Adjusting the front fork

This model is equipped with adjustable
suspension. The spring preload, re-
bound damping force, and compres-
sion damping force of each leg can be
adjusted.
WARNING
Always adjust both fork legs equally,
otherwise poor handling and loss of
stability may result.
NOTICE
 Use extra care to avoid scratch-
ing the anodized finish of the
adjusting nuts and bolts when
making
ments.
 To avoid damaging the suspen-
sion's internal mechanisms, 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 nut on each fork in direc-
tion (a). To decrease the spring preload
and thereby soften the suspension,
turn the adjusting nut on each fork in
direction (b).
