force and thereby harden the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting screw
in direction (a). To decrease the com-

soften the compression damping, turn
the adjusting screw in direction (b).
NOTE:
Be sure to perform this adjustment on

the left front fork leg.
Compression damping setting:
Minimum (soft):
26 click(s) in direction (b)*
Standard:
5 click(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
1 click(s) in direction (b)*
* With the adjusting screw fully turned
in direction (a)
CAUTION:
Never attempt to turn an adjusting
mechanism beyond the maximum or
minimum settings.
NOTE:
Although the total number of clicks of a
damping force adjusting mechanism
may not exactly match the above spec-
ifications due to small differences 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 num-
ber of clicks of each damping force ad-
justing mechanism and to modify the
specifications as necessary.
