Suspension Adjustment Guidelines
Adjustments for Competition
107
Follow the procedures described below to accurately adjust your CRF, using the methods described on pages 94 – 103. Remember to make all adjustments in 1/4
turn increments. Test ride after each adjustment.
Front Suspension Adjustment
Adjustments for Type of Track
Hard-surfaced track Begin with the standard setting. If the suspension is too stiff/soft, adjust according to the chart below.
Sand track Adjust to a stiffer position.
Example: – Turn the compression damping adjuster to a stiffer position.
– Install the optional stiff spring. (Adjust compression damping to a softer position and rebound damping to a stiffer position at
this time.)
Mud track Adjust to a stiffer position because mud build-up increases your CRF’s weight.
Example: – Turn the compression damping adjuster to a stiffer setting.
– Install the optional stiff spring.
Adjustments for Too Soft/Stiff Damping
Symptom Action
Soft suspension Initial travel too soft:
• Steering is too quick.
• Front end darts while cornering or riding in a straight line.
– Test stiffer compression damping adjustments in 1/4 turn increments.
– Test stiffer rebound damping in 1/4 turn increments.
Middle travel too soft:
• Front end dives when cornering.
If suspension isn’t stiff in initial travel:
– Test stiffer compression damping adjustments in 1/4 turn increments.
If initial travel becomes stiff because of the above adjustment:
– Reduce the rebound damping in 1/4 turn increments.
– Test softer compression damping adjustments in 1/4 turn increments.
If that doesn’t solve the problem, install the optional stiff spring.
Final travel too soft:
• Bottoms on landings.
• Bottoms on large bumps, especially downhill bumps.
If initial and middle travel aren’t stiff:
– Test stiffer compression damping adjustments in 1/4 turn increments.
If initial and middle travel are stiff:
– Install the optional stiff spring.
If initial travel is stiff after installing the optional stiff spring:
– Test soft compression damping adjustments in 1/4 turn increments.
If initial travel is still soft after installing the optional stiff spring:
– Test stiffer compression damping adjustments in 1/4 turn increments.
If final travel is still soft after installing the optional stiff spring:
– Increase the fork oil level in increments of 0.2 US oz (5 cm
3
).
Entire travel too soft:
• Front end shakes.
• Fork bottoms over any type of terrain.
– Install the optional stiff spring.
– Test stiffer compression damping adjustments in 1/4 turn increments.
– Increase rebound damping in 1/4 turn increments.
