TIPWhen adjusting the spring preload set-
ting, turn the adjuster in direction (b)
until it stops, and then count the clicks
in direction (a).Re boun d d ampin g force
To increase the rebound damping for-
ce and thereby harden the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting screw in direction (a). To decrease the rebound
damping force and thereby soften the
rebound damping, turn the adjusting
screw in direction (b).
TIP
When adjusting the damping force
settings, turn the adjuster in direc-
tion (a) until it stops, and then
count the clicks in direction (b).
Although a damping force adjust-
er may click beyond the stated mi-
nimum settings, such adjustments
are ineffective and may damage
the suspension.
