Front fork adjustment
The front fork used on this motorcycle has rebound
(return), compression and spring preload
adjustment.
It is possible to adjust the spring preload on both
legs whereas compression and rebound can only be
adjusted on the LH and RH legs, respectively.
Adjustment is done by external adjusters:
1)
for rebound adjustment;
2) to adjust the preload of the inner springs;
3)
to adjust the compression damping.
Position the motorcycle on its side stand so that it is
stable. Turn adjuster (1) at the top end of the RH fork
leg to adjust rebound damping. Turn adjuster (3) at
the top end of the LH fork leg to adjust compression
damping.
The stiffest damping setting is obtained with the
adjusters (1) and (3) turned fully clockwise to the "0"
position.
Starting from this position, turning anticlockwise,
you can count the various turns of the adjusters.
To change preload of the spring inside each fork leg,
turn adjuster (2) with a 22 mm (0.86 in) hexagon
wrench, completely counter clockwise, to obtain fully

uncompressed position. From this position, adjust
the spring preload by turning the adjuster clockwise.
Every turn corresponds to 1 mm (0.04 in) of spring
preload.
