(1) PRE-LOAD ADJUSTER (1) REBOUND ADJUSTER (1) COMPRESSION ADJUSTER
Fork (2ED/4ED)
The motorcycle is shipped with a light coating of grease
on the forks. This is not an indication of a leak.
The fork should always be adjusted for the rider’s weight
and track conditions by using one or more of the following
methods.
Basically, there are two adjustments you can make to the
front suspension:
Rebound damping (right fork)
Turning the rebound damping adjuster adjusts how
quickly the fork extends.
Compression damping (right fork)
Turning the compression damping adjuster adjusts how
quickly the fork compressed.
Spring pre-load (left fork)
Turning the spring pre-load adjuster adjusts the spring
initial pre-load length.
Fork fluid volume
The effects of higher or lower fork fluid level are only
felt during final fork travel.
Standard position:
7 ± 0.5 turns out from full soft
Replace the fork fluid every 6 months. See page 5-8,
5-11 for oil level adjustment after changing the fork fluid.
Use specified fork fluid which additives to assure
maximum performance of your Cota’s front suspension.
Specified fork fluid:
Showa SS05 (SAE 5W) or equivalent
Standard position:
20 ± 2 clicks from full hard
Periodically check and clean all front suspension parts
to assure top performance. Check the dust seals for
dust, dirt and foreign materials. Check the fluid for any
contamination.
Make rebound damping adjustments in one-click
increments. Adjusting two or more clicks at a time
may cause you to pass over the best adjustment. Test
ride after each adjustment.
If you become confused about adjustment settings,
return to the standard position and start over.
Standard position:
17 ± 2 clicks from full hard
