INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS EAU46493 Rebound damping setting: Minimum (soft): 17 click(s) in direction (b)* Standard: 12 click(s) in direction (b)* Maximum (hard): 1 click(s) in direction (b)* * With the adjusting knob fully turned in direction (a) Compression damping setting: Minimum (soft): 20 click(s) in direction (b)* Standard: 12 click(s) in direction (b)* Maximum (hard): 1 click(s) in direction (b)* * With the adjusting screw fully turned in direction (a) Adjusting the shock absorber assembly This shock absorber assembly is equipped with a spring preload adjusting knob and rebound and compression damping force adjusting knobs. ECA10101 NOTICE To avoid damaging the mechanism, do not attempt to turn beyond the maximum or minimum settings. Spring preload To increase the spring preload and thereby harden the suspension, turn the adjusting knob in direction (a). To decrease the spring preload and thereby soften the suspension, turn the adjusting knob in direction (b). TIP Align the appropriate mark on the adjusting mechanism with the end of the adjusting knob. 4 Compression damping force To increase the compression damping force and thereby harden the compression damping, turn the adjusting screw on each fork leg in direction (a). To decrease the compression damping force and thereby soften the compression damping, turn the adjusting screw on each fork leg in direction (b). (a) TIP Although the total number of clicks of a damping force adjusting mechanism may not exactly match the above specifications due to small differences in production, the actual number of clicks always represents the entire adjusting range. To obtain a precise adjustment, it would be advisable to check the number of clicks of each damping force adjusting mechanism and to modify the specifications as necessary. 1 (b) 1.
