Always adjust both fork legs equal-
ly, otherwise poor handling and
loss of stability may result.

To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting bolts on each fork leg in
direction (a). To decrease the spring
preload and thereby soften the sus-
pension, turn the adjusting bolts on
