adjusting range.
1. Adjust:
• Rebound damping
a. Turn the adjuster "1" in the direction of "a"
or "b" to make an adjustment.
Direction "a"
Rebound damping is increased (sus-
pension is harder).
Direction "b"
Rebound damping is decreased (sus-
pension is softer).
Rebound damping
Minimum (soft)
20 click(s) in direction "b"*
Standard
11 click(s) in direction "b"*
Maximum (hard)
0 click(s) in direction "b"*
* With the adjusting screw fully turned in di-
rection "a"
TIP
Although the total number of clicks of a damping
force adjusting mechanism may not exactly
match the above specifications due to small dif-
ferences 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 number of clicks of
each damping force adjusting mechanism and
to modify the specifications as necessary.
