INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS Rebound damping force Compression damping force (a) 1 (b) (b) (a) 1 Compression damping setting: Minimum (soft): 20 click(s) in direction (b)* Standard: 12 click(s) in direction (b)* Maximum (hard): 1 click(s) in direction (b)* * With the adjusting screw fully turned in direction (a) 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1. Rebound damping force adjusting knob To increase the rebound damping force and thereby harden the rebound damping, turn the adjusting knob on each fork leg in direction (a). To decrease the rebound damping force and thereby soften the rebound damping, turn the adjusting knob on each fork leg in direction (b). Rebound damping setting: Minimum (soft): 25 click(s) in direction (b)* Standard: 12 click(s) in direction (b)* Maximum (hard): 1 click(s) in direction (b)* * With the adjusting knob fully turned in direction (a) 1. Compression damping force adjusting screw To increase the compression damping force and thereby harden the compression damping, turn the adjusting screw on each fork leg in direction (a). To decrease the compression damping force and thereby soften the compression damping, turn the adjusting screw on each fork leg in direction (b). TIP Although the total number of clicks of a damping force adjusting mechanism may not exactly match the above specifications due to small differences in production, the actual number of clicks always represents the entire adjusting range. To obtain a precise adjustment, it would be advisable to check the number of clicks of each damping force adjusting mechanism and to modify the specifications as necessary. 4-23
