1. Spring preload adjusting bolt
The spring preload setting is deter-
6
mined by measuring distance A, shown
in the illustration. The shorter distance
A is, the higher the spring preload; the
7
longer distance A is, the lower the
spring preload.

Rebound damping force
The rebound damping force is adjusted
on the right front fork leg only.
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting screw in direction
(a). To decrease the rebound damping
force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting screw in di-
rection (b).

TIP
Although the total number of clicks of a
damping force adjusting mechanism
may not exactly match the above spec-
ifications due to small differences in
production, the actual number of clicks
always represents the entire adjusting
range. 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 the
specifications as necessary.
