Compression Damping
The compression damping is adjusted by turning a screw
on the bottom of each fork leg. There is a rubber dust
cover protecting the jam nut (A) securing the screw (B).
The adjuster has 12 stages of adjustment. Turn the
adjuster clockwise for slower compression. To speed up
compression, turn the adjuster counter-clockwise. Start
with a middle setting and fine tune the compression from
there.
Proper compression will allow the tire to track the ground
over consecutive bumps. Compression that is set too slow
will pack-up (feel harsh over consecutive bumps) while
compression that is set too fast will cause the fork to
bottom out harshly.
If the fork is bottoming out, turn the adjuster one click at a
time until the bottom-out stops. Adjust each fork leg evenly.
Replace the rubber dust cover after the adjustment.
