YXZ10YESK (LE model)TIPThe spring preload setting is determined by
measuring distance A, shown in the illustra-
tion. The shorter distance A is, the higher the
spring preload; the longer distance A is, the
lower the spring preload. 1. Locknut

Crossover setting (YXZ10YESK)
The crossover setting adjusts the timing when
the shock absorber transitions from the soft
spring to the hard spring.TIP It is recommended to adjust the crossover
setting a similar distance whenever the
spring preload is adjusted.
 The crossover setting is measured from the
bottom of the spring retainer to the top of
the crossover locknut.

Rebound damping force [YXZ10YEXK /
YXZ10YESK (SE model)]
Turn the rebound damping force adjusting
screw in direction (a) to increase the rebound
damping force and thereby harden the damp-
ing, and in direction (b) to decrease the re-
bound damping force and thereby soften the
damping.Rebound damping force [YXZ10YESK (LE

High speed rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping force and
thereby harden the high speed rebound
damping, turn the rebound damping force
adjusting bolt in direction (a). To decrease the
rebound damping force and thereby soften
the high speed rebound damping, turn the
adjusting bolt in direction (b).
