Overview of the shock absorber springs

85/105 SX
The spring rate is written on the outside of the spring (e.g. 35-215). The type
number of the shock absorber is embossed on the top.
The illustration on the left shows which spring should be installed. The stan-
dard spring is shown in bold print.
40-215
After installing a different spring, readjust the static sag to 30-35 mm.
According to our experience, the damping rate of the compression stage can
remain unchanged. The damping rate of the rebound stage can be reduced
by a few clicks for a softer spring or increased by a few clicks for a harder
spring.

Checking the basic setup of the telescopic fork

The precise riding sag of the telescopic fork cannot be determined for vari-
ous reasons. If your telescopic fork bumps frequently (hard end stop during
compression), you should install harder fork springs to avoid damaging the
telescopic fork and frame.
