ADJUSTING THE FRONT FORK
Do not force the rotation of the adjusters
(1-2) beyond the end of stroke in both
directions, in order to avoid any damage.
Set the same spring preload and hydraulic
damping for both legs: a different setting
of the legs decreases the stability of the
vehicle while riding. When the spring
preload is increased, it is necessary to
increase also the hydraulic damping, in
order to avoid sudden jerks while riding.
For the adjustment of the fork:
–
see p. 113 (FORK
–
(
) see p.114 ("
(
)).
FORK
The standard setting of the front fork is
such as to satisfy most driving conditions
at low and high speed, either with reduced
load and full load.
However, it is also possible to adjust the
setting according to the intended use of the
vehicle.
For the adjustment, always start from the
most rigid setting [complete clockwise
rotation of the adjusters (1-2)]. Use the
notches (1-2) provided on the adjusters as
reference marks for the adjustment of the
hydraulic compression and rebound
damping.
Gradually rotate the adjusters (1-2)
giving 1/8 turn per time.
