TUNSETTING
Front fork setting
The front fork setting should be made depend-
ing on the rider’s feeling of an actual run and
the circuit conditions.
The front fork setting includes the following
three factors:
1. Setting of air spring characteristics
Change the fork oil amount.
2. Setting of spring preload
Change the spring.
Install the adjustment washer.
3. Setting of damping force
Change the compression damping.
Change the rebound damping.
The spring acts on the load and the
damping force acts on the cushion travel
speed.
Change in amount and characteristics of
fork oil
Damping characteristic near the final stroke
can be changed by changing the fork oil
amount.
CAUTION:
Adjust the oil amount in 5 cm
3 (0.2 Imp oz,
0.2 US oz) increments or decrements. Too
small oil amount causes the front fork to
produce a noise at full rebound or the rider
to feel some pressure on his hands or
body. Alternatively, too large oil amount
will develop unexpectedly early oil lock
with the consequent shorter front fork
travel and deteriorated performance and
characteristics. Therefore, adjust the front
fork within the specified range.

Choosing set length
1. Place a stand or block under the engine to
put the rear wheel above the floor, and
measure the length a between the rear
wheel axle center and the rear fender hold-
ing bolt.
2. Remove the stand or block from the engine
and with a rider astride the seat, measure
the sunken length b between the rear
wheel axle center and the rear fender hold-
ing bolt.
3. Loosen the locknut 1 and make adjust-
ment by turning the spring adjuster 2 to
achieve the standard figure from the sub-
traction of the length b from the length a.
NOTE:
If the machine is new and after it is broken in,
the same set length of the spring may
change because of the initial fatigue, etc. of
the spring. Therefore, be sure to make re-
evaluation.
If the standard figure cannot be achieved by
adjusting the spring adjuster and changing
the spring set length, replace the spring with
an optional one and make re-adjustment.
Standard figure:
90 ~ 100 mm (3.5 ~ 3.9 in)
