TUNING THE CHASSIS 10.1 Adjusting the compression damping of the fork Info The hydraulic compression damping determines the fork suspension behavior. An optimally adjusted compression damping ensures that the fork does not compress too far and fast when you brake hard or when the load shifts very fast.
TUNING THE CHASSIS Info Turn clockwise to increase spring preload; turn counterclockwise to reduce spring preload. Changing the spring preload has no influence on the rebound damping although the adjusting screws turn during the adjustment work. Basically, however, you should set the rebound damping higher when the higher spring preload is higher.
Caution Danger of accidents Disassembly of pressurized parts can lead to injury. – The shock absorber is filled with high density nitrogen. Adhere to the description provided. (Your authorized KTM workshop will be glad to help.) Info The low-speed setting can be seen during the slow to normal compression of the shock absorber.
TUNING THE CHASSIS – Turn adjusting screw clockwise up to the last perceptible click. – Turn back counterclockwise by the number of clicks corresponding to the shock absorber type. Guideline Rebound damping Standard 10 clicks Info Turn clockwise to increase damping; turn counterclockwise to reduce damp- L00490-10 ing.

Brake linings available from accessory suppliers are often not tested and approved for use on KTM vehicles. The construc- tion and friction factor of the brake linings and therefore the brake power can differ considerably from the original KTM brake linings. If brake linings are used that differ from the originals, there is no guarantee that they comply with the origi- nal license.
