Front fork adjusters
The front fork has rebound, compression damping
adjusters and spring preload adjuster.
This adjustment is done using the outer adjusters:
1) to adjust rebound damping (fig. 35);
2) to adjust inner springs preload (fig. 35);
3) to adjust compression damping (fig. 36.1 - 36.2).
Put and secure the motorcycle on side stand.
Turn the adjuster (1) on fork leg top with a flat
screwdriver to adjust rebound damping.
To reach the adjuster (3, fig. 36.1 - 36.2), insert a
screwdriver into the passing hole on the wheel shaft at
fork leg axis.
As you turn the adjusting screws (1 and 3), you will hear
them click. Each click identifies a setting.Turn the screw
all the way in to set the hardest damping (position 0).
This will be your starting point. Now turn the screw
anticlockwise and listen for the clicks that identify setting
positions no. “1”, “2” and so on.
