Compression damping of shock absorber

The shock absorber 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
2
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 ADJUSTMENT LOW-SPEED:
– Turn adjusting screw [1] clockwise as far as it will go.
– Turn 20 clicks in a counterclockwise direction.
STANDARD ADJUSTMENT HIGH-SPEED:
– Turn adjusting screw [2] (wrench size 17 mm) clockwise as far as it will go.
– Turn 1.5 turns in a counterclockwise direction.
The damping unit of the shock absorber is filled with high-compression nitrogen. Never try
to take the shock absorber apart or to do anymaintenance work yourself. Severe injuries could
be the result.
Never unscrew the black screw connection (24mm).
