Setting of spring after replacement
As the front fork setting can be easily affected
by rear suspension, take care so that the
machine front and rear are balanced (in posi-
tion, etc.) when setting the front fork.
1. Use of soft spring
Generally a soft spring gives a soft riding
feeling. Rebound damping tends to
become stronger and the front fork may
sink deeply over a series of gaps.
To set a soft spring:
Change the rebound damping.
Turn out one or two clicks.
Change the compression damping.
Turn in one or two clicks.
