INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS4-84Compression damping force1. Remove the rubber cap by pullingit out of the front fork leg.2. To increase the compressiondamping force and thereby hardenthe compression damping, turn theadjusting screw on each fork leg indirection (a). To decrease thecompression damping force andthereby soften the compressiondamping, turn the adjusting screwon each fork leg in direction (b).3. Install the rubber cap.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.1. Rebound damping force adjusting screwRebound damping setting:Minimum (soft):20 click(s) in direction (b)*Standard:7 click(s) in direction (b)*Maximum (hard):1 click(s) in direction (b)** With the adjusting screw fully turnedin direction (a)1.
