forks. Though the standard air pressure is 0 psi (0
kPa, 0 kg/cm ), the forks may be adjusted for the

air pressure and oil volume. Use the chart below to
determine the correct adjustment for you.

Air Pressure Adjustment
Low air pressure settings provide a soft ride
and are for light loads and smooth riding
conditions.
High air pressure settings provide a firm ride
and are for heavy loads and rough riding
conditions.
For accurate pressure readings, check and
adjust air pressure when the fork tubes are
cold and with the front wheel off the ground.
1. Place a support under the engine to raise
the front wheel off the ground.
