Front fork adjuster The front fork can be adjusted for rebound, compression and spring preload. The settings are adjusted by way of external adjuster screws: 1) to adjust rebound damping (fig. 31.1 and fig. 31.2); 2) to adjust inner spring preload (fig. 31.1 and fig. 31.2); 3) to adjust compression damping (fig. 32.1 and fig. 32.2). Park the motorcycle in a stable position on its sidestand. Using a 3 mm Allen key (1100 S) or slot-headed screwdriver (1100), turn the adjuster (1) located on the top of each fork leg to adjust the rebound damping. Using a 3 mm Allen key (1100 S) or slot-headed screwdriver (1100), turn the adjuster (3, fig. 32.1 and fig. 32.2) located on the top of each fork leg to adjust the compression damping. As you turn the adjuster (1), you will hear it click. Each click corresponds to a setting. Adjuster (3, fig. 32.1 and fig. 32.2) turns freely to give continuous damping adjustment. The maximum damping is obtained with the adjuster screwed in fully to the "0" position. 1 2 2 1 E 1100S fig. 31.1 1 2 2 1 A 1100 fig. 31.2 40
