6. Adjustment
The DNM Hornet M-200S front fork suspension features rebound adjustment to fine-tune damping characteristics.
Rebound Adjustment:
The rebound adjustment knob is located at the top of the fork leg. This adjustment controls the speed at which the fork extends after compression. Turning the knob towards "Fast" (indicated by '+') will increase the rebound speed, while turning it towards "Slow" (indicated by '-') will decrease it.
- Fast Rebound: Suitable for rough terrain where the fork needs to extend quickly to maintain tire contact.
- Slow Rebound: Ideal for smoother tracks or when more controlled extension is desired to prevent the fork from topping out too quickly.
Make small adjustments and test the suspension performance in a safe environment. Record your settings for future reference.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of your front fork suspension.
- Cleaning: After each ride, especially in dirty or wet conditions, clean the outer surfaces of the fork legs and seals with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washers directly on seals.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any oil leaks around the seals, scratches on the stanchion tubes, or loose fasteners.
- Fork Oil: Consult a professional for recommended service intervals for fork oil changes. Old or contaminated fork oil can degrade performance.
- Seal Replacement: Worn or damaged fork seals should be replaced promptly by a qualified technician to prevent further damage and maintain performance.
8. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your front fork suspension.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
