INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS3-213 Rebound damping forceThe rebound damping force is adjustedon the right front fork leg only.To increase the rebound damping forceand thereby harden the rebound damp-ing, turn the adjusting screw in direction(a). To decrease the rebound dampingforce and thereby soften the rebounddamping, turn the adjusting screw in di-rection (b).Compression damping forceThe compression damping force is ad-justed on the right front fork leg only.To increase 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).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-Spring preload setting:Minimum (soft):Distance A = 14.0 mm (0.55 in)Standard:Distance A = 11.0 mm (0.43 in)Maximum (hard):Distance A = 4.0 mm (0.16 in)1.
