MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
133
•
If there is any doubt about the front
fork, it should be checked by an au-
thorized Kawasaki dealer.
A. Inner Tube
On the top of each front fork leg are a
spring preload adjuster and a rebound
damping force adjuster,
and on the
lower portion of each front fork leg is
a compression damping force adjuster
so that the spring force and damping
force can be adjusted for different rid-
ing and loading conditions.
Weaker
spring force and damping force are
for comfortable riding, but they should
be increased for high speed riding or
riding on rough roads.
A. Spring Preload Adjuster
B. Rebound Damping Force Adjuster
