Front fork adjusters The front fork can be adjusted for rebound, compression and spring preload. The settings are adjusted by way of external adjuster screws: 1) to adjust rebound damping (fig. 46 and fig. 47); 2) to adjust inner spring preload (fig. 46 and fig. 47); 3) to adjust compression damping (fig. 48 and fig. 49). Park the motorcycle in a stable position on its sidestand. To adjust the rebound damping setting, turn the adjuster (1) on the top of each fork leg with a flat-blade screwdriver (1100) or the special wrench (1100S). To adjust compression damping, turn the adjuster (3, fig. 48 and fig. 49) at the rear of the fork bottoms using a flat blade screwdriver. As you turn the adjuster (1 and 3), you will hear it click. Each click corresponds to a setting. The maximum damping is obtained with the adjuster screwed in fully to the "0" position. 1 2 2 1 E A 1100 fig. 46 1 2 2 1 1100S fig. 47 55
