7-15SETTING TUNAEC722011Front fork settingThe front fork setting should be made dependingon the rider’s feeling of an actual run and the cir-cuit conditions.The front fork setting includes the following threefactors:1. Setting of air spring characteristics9Change the fork oil amount.2. Setting of spring preload9Change the spring.9Install the adjustment washer.3. Setting of damping force9Change the compression damping.9Change the rebound damping.The spring acts on the load and the damp-ing force acts on the cushion travel speed.EC723001Change in amount and characteristics of forkoilDamping characteristic near the final stroke canbe changed by changing the fork oil amount.cCAdjust the oil amount in 5 cm 3 (0.2 Imp oz,0.2 US oz) increments or decrements. Toosmall oil amount causes the front fork toproduce a noise at full rebound or the riderto feel some pressure on his hands orbody. Alternatively, too large oil amountwill develop unexpectedly early oil lockwith the consequent shorter front fork trav-el and deteriorated performance and char-acteristics. Therefore, adjust the front forkwithin the specified range.å Air spring characteristics in relation to oil amountchange∫ Loadç Stroke1 Max. oil amount2 Standard oil amount3 Min. oil amountStandard oil amount:245 cm 3 (8.62 Imp oz, 8.28 US oz)Extent of adjustment:200~300 cm3 (7.04~10.6 Imp oz,6.76~10.1 US oz)
