ADJUSTING THE FRONT FORK
This front fork is equipped with spring pre-load ad-
justing bolts.
WARNING0
Always adjust both fork legs equally, other-
wise poor handling and loss of stability may
result.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and thereby hard-
en the suspension, turn the adjusting bolt on each
fork leg in direction a. To decrease the spring
preload and thereby soften the suspension, turn
the adjusting bolt on each fork leg in direction b.
