Air Compression Damping Valve |

-
At the top of each
AirCell is an adjustable Air Compression
Damping Valve (ACD Valve). This valve
is pre-set at the softest setting (full
counter-clockwise open). The valve has
approximately 10 full turns of adjustments.
Always adjust both valves the same. Your
first ride should be made with the pre-set
settings. If you feel you need a firmer
ride, or would like the front end to
ride higher in the stroke, loosen the
round black locknut then adjust both
valves five turns clockwise then re-test.
Make sure to re-tighten the locknut.
Adjust until you find the settings you
prefer. Turning the valve clockwise will
slow the air entering the AirCells and
stiffen the feel of your forks. Most
riders prefer the softest settings. You
will need to experiment with the settings
for your preference in feel.
-
Before every ride,
push the air bleeder valve on top of
the AirCell to vent any air pressure
that has built up. This air bleeder valve
vents both forks at the same time. Always
place motorcycle on a stand with the
front wheel off the ground, before venting
your forks.
