Compression damping of fork

Hydraulic compression damping determines the reaction when the fork is
compressed. The degree of compression can be adjusted with adjusting
screws at the bottom of the fork legs.Remove the protecting cap
Turn the adjusting screws 2
clockwise to reduce damping during compression.
STANDARD ADJUSTMENT
– turn adjusting screw clockwise as far as it will go
– turn it back by as many clicks as are specified for the relevant type of
fork
Typ White Power 1418Y747 ......................18 clicks (SX)
Typ White Power 1418Y748 ......................20 clicks (EXC/MXC)

Rebound damping of fork

Hydraulic rebound damping determines the reaction when the fork is
rebound. By turning the adjusting screw
the rebound can be adjusted. Turn the knob clockwise to increase damping,
turn it counterclockwise to reduce damping during rebounding.
STANDARD ADJUSTMENT
– turn adjusting screw clockwise as far as it will go
– turn it back by as many clicks as are specified for the relevant type of
fork
Typ White Power 1418Y747 ......................19 clicks (SX)
Typ White Power 1418Y748 ......................20 clicks (EXC/MXC)

Damping action during compression of shock absorber (SX)

The shock absorber on the SX models can synchronize the compression
damping in the low and high-speed range separately (Dual Compression
Control).
Low and high speed refers to the movement of the shock absorber during
compression and not to the speed of the motorcycle.
The low and high-speed technology overlaps.
The low-speed setting is primarily for slow to normal shock absorber
compression rates.
The high-speed setting is effective at fast compression rates.
Turning in a clockwise direction will increase the damping, turning
counterclockwise will decrease the damping.
Standard low-speed setting:
4
– turn the adjusting screw
screwdriver .
– unscrew the respective number of clicks for the specific type of shock
absorber in a counterclockwise direction.
Typ White Power 1218Y771 ......................12 clicks
Standard high-speed setting:
5
– turn the adjusting screw
box wrench.
– unscrew the respective number of turns for the specific type of shock
absorber in a counterclockwise direction.
Typ White Power 1218Y771 ......................2 turns
