INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS3-233Compression damping forceThe compression damping force is ad-justed on the left front fork leg only. Toincrease the compression dampingforce and thereby harden the compres-sion damping, turn the adjusting screwin direction (a). To decrease the com-pression damping force and therebysoften the compression damping, turnthe adjusting screw in direction (b).TIPBe sure to perform this adjustment onthe left front fork leg.TIPAlthough 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.EAU39344Adjusting the shock absorberassemblyThis shock absorber assembly isequipped with a spring preload adjust-ing ring and a rebound damping forceadjusting screw.NOTICEECA10101To avoid damaging the mechanism,do not attempt to turn beyond themaximum or minimum settings.Spring preloadRebound damping setting:Minimum (soft):26 click(s) in direction (b)*Standard:18 click(s) in direction (b)*Maximum (hard):1 click(s) in direction (b)** With the adjusting screw fully turnedin direction (a)1.
