Changing the fork offset
The offset [A] of the fork (center of fork legs - center of steering head bearing)
can be set to 33 or 35 mm, as required. In this way, handling can be even
more closely adapted to the race course.
You can see which offset has been set after removing the steering head screw.
If the marking [B] is at the front, the offset is 33 mm. This setting will give
A
you better riding stability on fast race courses.
If the marking [B] is at the rear, the offset is 35 mm. This setting will give
you better handling in tight curves.

To adjust the offset, remove the front wheel and take off the front fender.
