Adjusting the fork air pressure

Warning
Danger of accidents Modifications to the suspension setting may seriously alter the handling characteristic.
Extreme modifications to the suspension setting may cause a serious deterioration in the handling characteristic and over-
load components.
–
Only make adjustments within the recommended range.
–
Make sure your child rides slowly to start with after making adjustments in order that he or she can assess the new han-
dling characteristic.
Info
Check or adjust the air pressure under the same conditions at the earliest 5 minutes after switching off the engine.
The air suspension is located in the left fork leg. The rebound damping is located in the right fork leg.
–
Smaller differences in the rider's weight can be compensated for by the fork air
pressure.
–
However, if the fork frequently bottoms out (hard end stop on compression), the
fork air pressure must be increased, within the specified values, to avoid damage
to the fork and frame.
