Yamaha RZV500R Fork Adjusters

Could someone scan the owners handbook relevant pages or link me to adjustment info please.
Should the knobs stop in both directions or do they rotate 360 left and right?
What do I use the red markers for on the fork leg tops?
What air pressure is uses in the forks if at all?

TIA

The owners manual would be in Japanese.
I do have a shop manual for the RZV....also in Japanese.
I could try to scan a few pages if the pictures would help?

you can download an app for your phone that when you hover the camera over the text it converts it, or load the page into an online converter etc.

Tried one and it struggled with it due to clarity

Which app do you use?

no need for a phone
(google translate on a phone is a pain to use )
, you can use https://translate.yandex.com/ .
the site can convert japanese in a picture .
it works rather well with horizontal japanese , not so well with vertical .
if you have a book , you can scan it , then translate the picture through yandex .

if you have vertical japanese , you have first to convert the picture to text via for exemple https://www.newocr.com/

or https://www.ocrconvert.com/japanese-ocr

then pass the text to google translate or Yandex .

These adjusters work on rebound only
Nothing seemed to work when I got the bike but now the oil has 'circulated' in the fork with use they seem to work.
1 is soft
4 is hard
I just go from 1-2-3-4 and then keep going in same direction back to 1 rather than going 4-3-2-1
