Front fork adjusters The front fork can be adjusted in rebound, compression and preload. This adjustment is performed using outer screw-type adjusters: 1 2 2 1 E 1) to adjust rebound damping (fig. 32.1 and fig. 32.2); 2) to adjust inner spring preload (fig. 32.1 and fig. 32.2); 3) to adjust compression damping (fig. 33.1 and fig. 33.2). Park the motorcycle in a stable position on its side stand. Turn the adjuster (1) on fork leg top with a 3-mm Allen wrench to adjust rebound damping. Using a 3 mm Allen wrench (1000DS S) or slot-head screwdriver (1000DS) turn the adjuster (3, fig. 33.1 and fig. 33.2) on the upper part of the wheel pins, to adjust the compression in the hydraulic brake. As you turn the adjuster (1), you will hear it click. Each click identifies a setting. Adjuster (3) turns freely to give continuous adjustment. The maximum damping is obtained with the adjuster fully tightened to the "0" position. 1000DS S fig. 32.1 1 2 2 1 A 1000DS 42 fig. 32.2
