-31-- Using a stand under the frame, and stabilize the motorcycle.- Place a support under the engine so that the front wheel is raisedoff the ground.- Remove the purge screw (A) at the top of the front fork to bleedthe air out.Rebound Dampening Adjustment- To adjust the rebound, turn and tighten the adjuster screw (B)located at the top of the front fork.- Adjust the rebound to suit the rider’s preference under determinedconditions.CAUTIONNever leave the key in the latch. If the steering is turned to the leftwith the key inerted in the latch it will be severely damaged.FRONT FORKThe front fork should always be adjusted for the rider´s weight androad conditions. The adjustments must be performed in 4 steps:- Air pressure: Air pressure affects the fork travel. The air pressureincreases as the fork heats up, in other words it varies as a functionof time of operation. We do not recommend using air pressure,because the suspension has been designed to work without airpressure.- Rebound and compression dampening adjustment: Turn theadjusting screws clockwise to increase damping, turn itcounterclockwise to reduce damping.- Oil level adjustment: The effects of higher or lower fork oil levelare only felt during the final 100 mm of fork travel. A higher oil levelwill make the fork rebound faster. The lower the oil level is the forkrebound will be slower.- Fork spring: Optional springs are available that are softer andstiffer than standard. There is also the possibility to adjust the springpreload.Air PressureThe standard air pressure in the fork is atmospheric air pressure.The air pressure increases as the fork heats up, because of this thefork action becomes harder.(C)(A) (B)
