Adjusting the spring preload on the fork
The fork spring preload can be adjusted by turning the adjusting screws [2] (wrench size
24 mm) ± 5 mm (0,2 in).
Turning in a clockwise direction will increase the preload, turning in a counterclockwise direc-
tion will decrease the preload. 1 turn will change the preload by 1 mm.
Changing the preload will not affect the rebound damping adjustment, although adjusting
screw [1] will turn at the same time. Make the same spring preload adjustments to both
fork legs.
Generally, if the preload is higher, the rebound damping should also be set higher.
STANDARD ADJUSTMENT:
– Turn adjusting screw counterclockwise as far as it will go.
– Turn 5 turns in a clockwise direction.

Adjusting rebound damping of fork
Hydraulic rebound damping determines the reaction when the fork is rebound. By turning
the adjusting screw [1] (REB), the degree of damping of the rebound can be adjusted. Turn
the knob clockwise to increase damping, turn it counterclockwise to reduce damping dur-
ing rebounding. Make the same damping rate adjustment to both fork legs.
STANDARD ADJUSTMENT
– Turn adjusting screw clockwise as far as it will go.
– Turn 17 clicks in a counterclockwise direction.
