movements)
Further in stroke • Increase damping force for compression, or
decrease damping force for rebound.
Too stiff (poor stroke) • Decrease spring preload.
• Decrease damping force for compression.
• Down the oil level (for front fork only).
Looseness in parts • Check bolts, bearings, etc. as well as their
installation.
Tire/Rim • Recheck balance.
• Check deformation (runout).
Too stiff
Poor operation • Check the shock absorber.

(Check rod, inner tube, etc. for bending. If
bent, replace.)
• Check for any deviation from center after
tightening front wheel axle.
(Replace if deviated in any way.)
• Too much tightened bolts for front

specification (handle crown, under bracket,
steering damper stay, handlebar).
Too stiff (poor stroke) • Decrease spring preload.
• Decrease damping force (for both compres-
sion and rebound).
Bottoming (full stroke) • Increase spring preload.
• Increase oil level (for front fork only).

decrease damping force for rebound.
Spongy feeling Poor of damping force • Increase damping force (for both compres-
sion and rebound).
Too soft • Increase spring preload.
