Front fork adjusters (fig. 25 - fig. 26)
The front forks can be adjusted for both rebound damping
and compression damping.
The settings are adjusted by way of external adjuster
screws:
1) (fig. 25) to adjust rebound damping;
2) (fig. 25) to adjust spring preload;
3) (fig. 26) to adjust compression damping.
Turn the adjuster (1) at the top of each fork leg with a
3 mm Allen wrench to adjust the rebound damping.
To turn the adjuster (3, fig. 26) insert a 3 mm Allen key
through the hole as shown in figure 27. Turn the adjuster
screws (1 and 3) while counting the number of clicks;
each click corresponds top a damping setting. The stiffest
damping setting is obtained with the adjuster turned fully
clockwise fully to the "0" position.
Start from this position and turn the adjuster anti-clockwise
while counting the number of clicks, which correspond to
position 1, 2 and so forth.
