Adjusting the front fork

This front fork is equipped with spring
preload adjusting bolts, rebound damp-
ing force adjusting knobs and compres-
sion damping force adjusting screws.

WARNING

EWA10180

Always adjust both fork legs equal-
ly, otherwise poor handling and loss
of stability may result.

Spring preload

To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting bolt on each fork leg in di-
rection (a). To decrease the spring pre-

load and thereby soften the
suspension, turn the adjusting bolt on
each fork leg in direction (b).

NOTE:

Align the appropriate groove on the ad-
justing mechanism with the top of the
front fork cap bolt.
