Adjustments for Competition 107
Front Suspension Adjustments
Both compression and rebound damping can be
increased by turning the adjuster clockwise.
Always start with full hard when adjusting
damping.
Do not turn the adjuster screw more than the
given positions or the adjuster may be damaged.
Be sure that the rebound and compression
adjusters are firmly located in a detent, and not
between positions.
NOTICE
Fork Springs
The fork springs in CRF’s are about right for
riders weighing between 150 lb (68 kg) and 160
lb (73 kg) (less riding gear). So if you're a
heavier rider, you have to go up on the oil
capacity or get a stiffer spring. Do not use less oil
than the minimum specified for each spring or
there will be a loss of rebound damping control
near full extension. If the fork is too hard on big
bumps, turn the damping adjuster
counterclockwise 1-turn and lower the oil
capacity in increments of 0.2 US oz (5 cm
3
) in
both fork legs until the desired performance is
obtained. Do not, however, lower the oil capacity
below the minimum oil capacity.
Minimum oil capacity:
Standard spring:
9.7 US oz (286 cm
3
)
Softer spring: 9.8 US oz (291 cm
3
)
Stiffer spring: 9.7 US oz (288 cm
3
)
When adjusting oil capacity, bear in mind that
the air in the fork will increase in pressure while
riding; therefore, the higher the oil capacity, the
higher the eventual pressure of any air in the
fork.
