TIP
• If the machine is new and after it is broken in,
the same set length of the spring may change
because of the initial fatigue, etc. of the
spring. Therefore, be sure to make reevalua-
tion.
• If the standard figure cannot be achieved by
adjusting the adjuster and changing the set
length, replace the spring with an optional one
and make readjustment.
SETTING OF SPRING AFTER REPLACE-
EAS2GC1146
MENT
After replacement, be sure to adjust the spring
to the set length [sunken length 90–100 mm
(3.5–3.9 in)] and set it.
1. Use of soft spring
• Adjust to decrease rebound damping force
to compensate for less spring load. Run with
the rebound damping force adjuster one or
two clicks turned out, and readjust it to suit
your preference.
2. Use of stiff spring
• Adjust to increase rebound damping force to
compensate for greater spring load. Run
with the rebound damping force adjuster
one or two clicks turned in, and readjust it to
suit your preference.
TIP
Adjusting the rebound damping force will be fol-
lowed more or less by a change in the com-
pression damping force. For correction, adjust
to decrease compression damping force.
