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

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.

Rebound damping force

To increase the rebound damping force

and thereby harden the rebound damp-

ing, turn the adjusting screw on each

fork leg in direction (a). To decrease the

rebound damping force and thereby

soften the rebound damping, turn the

adjusting screw on each fork leg in di-

rection (b).
