Hi, Im confused about adjusting my front fork. On the top of my forks you can either turn towards the plus or the minus, what will this do? and do you think there is lockout? The fork is a SR Suntour XCR.
That's rebound damping (ie how fast the fork bounces back to its rest position after it squishes). The lockout is in the right fork leg, or it will be if it has a lockout (mine does, I'm not sure if they all do)
The preload adjuster on XCRs isn't marked plus or minus though. Or at least, not on mine (which has a black rebound adjuster knob incidentally, not red). XCR RL also has rebound adjustment.
There are loads of XCR forks, some basic with just coil springs. Others have lockout, rebound adjust, remote lockout - all have preload adjusters. Depends on year too, as they vary, and some are not even listed on the main SR site.
I've got a set xcr's and mine preload adjust only. I leave mine on the softest setting most of the time( both red id tags showing there most) as the adjustment isn't that good. The forks in general are very good budget item, but I'm gonna bail on mine soon and get some quality items

Preload adjuster is there to set the sag to the correct amount.
If you have a lockout it's a lever on the top of the right leg.

Good budget forks.

The XCR is probably similar as my Dart 2, or they are at the same level,
so on the left leg I guess it's preload.
Btw I found this and it's not on suntour's website:
