Setting of spring after replacement

As the front fork setting can be easily affected by rear suspension, take care so that the machine front and rear are balanced (in posi- tion, etc.) when setting the front fork.

1.Use of soft spring

Generally a soft spring gives a soft riding feeling. Rebound damping tends to become stronger and the front fork may sink deeply over a series of gaps.

To set a soft spring:

•Change the rebound damping. Turn out one or two clicks.

•Change the compression damping. Turn in one or two clicks.

2.Use of stiff spring

Generally a stiff spring gives a stiff riding feeling. Rebound damping tends to become weaker, resulting in lack of a sense of contact with the road surface or in a vibrating handlebar.

To set a stiff spring:

•Change the rebound damping. Turn in one or two clicks.

•Change the compression damping. Turn out one or two clicks.
