Front fork adjusters The front fork can be adjusted in rebound, compression and preload. This adjustment is performed using outer screw-type adjusters: 1) to adjust rebound damping (fig. 37); 2) to adjust inner spring preload (fig. 37); 3) to adjust compression damping (fig. 38). Park the motorcycle in a stable position on its side stand. To set rebound damping, turn the top adjuster (1) on each fork leg with a small flat screwdriver. To turn adjuster (3) insert a screwdriver through the hole in the wheel spindle at the fork leg axis. As you turn the adjusting screws (1 and 3), you will hear them click. Each click identifies a setting. The maximum damping is obtained with the adjuster fully tightened to the "0" position. Start with this position and turn counterclockwise. Count the screw clicks, which correspond to position 1, 2 and so forth. 1 E A 2 fig. 37 3 fig. 38 41
