INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS3-173Rebound damping forceTo increase the rebound damping forceand thereby harden the rebound damp-ing, turn the adjusting knob on eachfork leg in direction (a). To decrease therebound damping force and therebysoften the rebound damping, turn theadjusting knob on each fork leg in direc-tion (b).Compression damping forceTo increase the compression dampingforce and thereby harden the compres-sion damping, turn the adjusting screwon each fork leg in direction (a). To de-crease the compression damping forceand thereby soften the compressiondamping, turn the adjusting screw oneach fork leg in direction (b).CAUTION:ECA10100Never attempt to turn an adjustingmechanism beyond the maximum orminimum settings.NOTE:Although the total number of clicks of adamping force adjusting mechanismmay not exactly match the above spec-ifications due to small differences inproduction, the actual number of clicksalways represents the entire adjustingrange. To obtain a precise adjustment,it would be advisable to check the num-ber of clicks of each damping force ad-justing mechanism and to modify thespecifications as necessary.1. Rebound damping force adjusting knobRebound damping setting:Minimum (soft):17 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 turnedin direction (a)1.
