match.

the adjusting bolt 3 complete turns
in direction (b), making sure the
alignment marks match.

justing bolt is positioned before the
alignment mark on the front fork
cap as shown in illustration “B”,
turn the adjusting bolt in direction
(b) until the alignment marks
match.

the adjusting bolt 2 complete turns
in direction (b), making sure the
