User manual

Loose, worn or damaged suspension components may affect the stability and handling of your motorcycle.

If any of the suspension components seem to be worn or damaged, see your Crossfire dealer for service

and/or inspection. Your Crossfire dealer is the most qualified to determine whether or not replacement

parts or service is required.

Your motorcycle is new. Break it in for about 2 hours with the original settings before attempting

adjustments.

1. Check the fork operation by pulling in the front

brake lever and holding it to lock the front wheel.

2. Next, pump down on the handle bars several times. The

suspension should feel clean and smooth.

3. Check the lower end of the forks (near the wheel) for oil

leaks.

4. Inspect the upper and lower triple clamps for

tightness. Be sure all the triple clamp bolts

are tight.

5. Examine the metal for any cracks, wear or other damage.

6. Be sure there is no free-play in the steering head .

1. On the top of the fork, you will find a screw head (or

a clicker).

2. It will have the writing S – H, meaning Soft & Hard or

the marks {

+ } or { - }. This is the Rebound Adjuster.

3. If you turn the screw toward the “H” { + }, the

downward action of the fork will harden. Alternatively,

if you turn the screw toward the “S” { - }, the

downward action of the fork will soften.

4. To get a good feel for the difference this can make, try

turning both screws all the way to the “H” {

+ } position,

then go for a ride. Don’t try and set any new records

thought. Once you have a good feel for the ride, try

turning the screws all the way to the “S” { - } position

and compare the difference.

DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR THE FORKS. IF

REPAIR IS NECESSARY, TAKE THE

MOTORCYCLE TO A CROSSFIRE DEALER.
