Front fork adjusters The front fork has rebound and compression damping adjusters. This adjustment is performed using outer screw-type adjusters: 1 E 1) (fig. 34) to adjust rebound damping; 2) (fig. 34) to adjust inner springs preload; 3) (fig. 35) to adjust compression damping. Put and secure the motorcycle in vertical position. Turn the adjuster (1) on fork leg top with a 3-mm Allen wrench to adjust rebound damping. To reach the adjuster (3), insert a 3-mm Allen wrench into the hole as shown in fig. 35. 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. 2 fig. 34 3 fig. 35 40
