Adjusting the front fork

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

WARNING

EWA10180

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

Spring preload

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.
