I've done a couple searches in this forum, but can't seem to find what I need to know, so. Anybody know for sure which adjuster does what on a '96 KYB 46mm USD fork? It seems at first glance to be fairly simple - the lower one is marked 'COMP' which I would assume to be compression, which I'd like to stiffen up one click.

I recently read an article on suspension set-up in Dirt Rider Magazine that confirmed this. I was happily making small adjustments to my damping when I happened to page through the Honda OEM manual for the 98-99 CR125, which also happened to use a 46mm KYB, and it clearly states that the Compression adjuster is the top clicker, and rebound on the bottom (in the photo in the manual, it even shows the 'COMP' in the lower casting)!?! So does anybody here with more experience than me want to clear this up for me? Did they change the damper system in these forks radically between '96 on the CR250R and '98-99 on the CR125R?

Is the Honda manual just mistaken?
