This shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing nut, a rebound damping force ad-
justing screw and a compression
damping force adjusting screw.

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
Although a damping force adjuster
may click beyond the stated minimum
settings, such adjustments are ineffec-
tive and may damage the suspension.
Compression dampin g force
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the com-
pression damping, turn the adjusting
screw in direction (a). To decrease the
compression damping force and there-
by soften the compression damping,
turn the adjusting screw in direction (b).
