  1. See Figure 1. Turn the rebound adjuster in the direction of the embossed H (hard) until it stops. This is the maximum rebound damping setting.
  2. Turn the rebound adjuster toward the embossed S (soft) the recommended number of clicks. Refer to Table 1.
Shock Absorber Compression Damping Adjustment
  1. See Figure 2. Using fingers, turn the compression adjuster clockwise H (hard) until it stops. This is the maximum compression damping setting.
  2. Turn the compression adjuster counterclockwise (H to S) (hard to soft) the recommended number of clicks. Refer to Table 1.
