Front Suspension Adjustment
A shock has two main actions: compression when the
shock gets loaded, and rebound when the shock returns
back to full length. Compression damping is the
adjustment that determines how fast or slow the fork
compresses. Rebound damping is the adjustment that
determines how fast or slow the fork rebounds.
Bleed Screw
The 3 mm Allen M5 screw (A) at the top of the fork leg is
the “bleed” screw. The bleed screw serves two purposes:
1. Transporting your motorcycle. See
“Transporting”, on
page 1.17
.
2. Bleeding the fork: Bleed the fork regularly, let any
excess air out after each ride.
Rebound Damping
The rebound damping is adjusted by turning the slotted
brass adjuster screw (B) on the top of both fork legs. Next
to the screw are the letters “S-F,” meaning
Slow
and
Fast
.
The adjuster has 18 stages of adjustment. This determines
how quickly the fork returns to its extended position after
being compressed.
Turning the rebound adjuster screw clockwise slows
the rebound speed down making it better for larger,
rolling terrain or bumps.
Turning the rebound adjuster screw counter-clockwise
increases the rebound speed making it better for
smaller, rougher bumps. Adjust each fork leg evenly.
