ADJUSTING THE FRONT FORK
a) REBOUND (TOP ADJUSTER)
Standard setting: - 12 clicks.
To reset standard calibration, turn adjuster (C) clockwise
to reach the fully closed position; then, turn it back by
the mentioned clicks. In order to obtain a smooth braking
action, turn the adjuster counter clockwise. Vice versa to
obtain a harder braking action.
b) AIR VENT (to carry out after each competition, or
monthly).
Set the motorcycle on a central stand, release the fork
fully extended and loosen the air vent valve (D). Once
this operation is over, tighten the valve.
Note *: Never force the adjusting screws
beyond the maximum open and closed posi-
tions.

with the necessary oil quantity. Remove the fork legs
from the fork to check the oil level. Work as follows:
- remove the damper rod caps;
- remove springs from the legs letting the oil drain into
the legs;
- bring fork to stroke end;
- check that the level is at distance "A" below the upper
limit of damper rod.
