Adjusting the spring preload on the fork
You can change the spring preload by ± 5 mm with the adjusting screw
Turning in a clockwise direction will increase the prestress, turning in a
counterclockwise direction will decrease the prestress.
Changing the spring preload will not affect the rebound damping adjust-
ment.
Generally, if the spring preload is higher, the rebound damping should also
be set higher.
STANDARD SETTING:
Unscrew the adjusting screw to the limit and then back 5 turns. From this
position you can either increase or reduce the spring preload by up to 5 mm
(1 turn = 1 mm).
Damping action during compression 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 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 com-
pression rates.
The high-speed setting is effective at fast compression rates.
Turning in a clockwise direction will increase the damping, turning counter-
clockwise will decrease the damping.
STANDARD LOW-SPEED SETTING:
– Turn the adjusting screw 2 to the limit in a clockwise direction using a
screwdriver.
– Unscrew the respective number of clicks for the specific type of shock
absorber in a counterclockwise direction.

Rebound damping of shock absorber
By using the adjusting screw
be adjusted. Turn the knob to the right side to increase damping, turn it to
the left side to reduce damping during rebounding.

STANDARD ADJUSTMENT:

– Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to the stop.
– Then turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise, counting the number of
clicks that corresponds to the respective type of shock absorber.
