  6. Adjustment Of Front Forks (Double Side Damper)

To take up end play in spindles undo the nuts on both ends of the spindle to be adjusted. Now turn the squared end of the spindle anti­clockwise until play has been removed. Tighten the nuts again and check the adjustment by trying the knurled washers, these washers must be just free to turn.

The shock absorber hand adjusters must be turned anti-clockwise to tighten, and should be set to suit individual needs. Generally the fork should return slowly after being depressed, to obtain proper damping. Do not over-lubricate the front bottom spindle as the grease may get into the shock absorber and reduce its efficiency.
