Front fork adjusters The front fork has rebound, compression damping adjusters and spring preload adjuster. This adjustment is done using the outer adjusters: 1) to adjust rebound damping (fig. 35); 2) to adjust inner springs preload (fig. 35); 3) to adjust compression damping (fig. 36.1 - 36.2). Put and secure the motorcycle on side stand. Turn the adjuster (1) on fork leg top with a flat screwdriver to adjust rebound damping. To reach the adjuster (3, fig. 36.1 - 36.2), insert a screwdriver into the passing hole on the wheel shaft at fork leg axis. As you turn the adjusting screws (1 and 3), you will hear them click. Each click identifies a setting.Turn the screw all the way in to set the hardest damping (position 0). This will be your starting point. Now turn the screw anticlockwise and listen for the clicks that identify setting positions no. "1", "2" and so on. 1 E A 2 fig. 35 41
