and thereby soften the compression
damping, turn the adjusting screw on
each fork leg in direction b.

INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
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.
