Compression Damping Of The Shock Absorber; Adjusting The Low-Speed Compression Damping Of The Shock Absorber - Husqvarna TC 250 Owner's Manual

10 TUNING THE CHASSIS
10.3
The compression damping of the shock absorber is divided into two ranges: high-speed and low-speed.
High-speed and low-speed refer to the compression speed of the rear wheel suspension and not to the vehicle
speed.
The high-speed setting, for example, has an effect on the landing after a jump: the rear wheel suspension com-
presses quickly.
The low-speed setting, for example, has an effect when riding over long ground swells: the rear wheel suspen-
sion compresses slowly.
These two ranges can be adjusted separately, although the transition between high-speed and low-speed is
gradual. Thus, changes in the high-speed range affect the compression damping in the low-speed range and
vice versa.

Caution
Risk of injury Parts of the shock absorber will fly off if the shock absorber is disassembled incor-
rectly.
The shock absorber is filled with highly compressed nitrogen.

Info
The effect of the low-speed setting can be seen in slow to normal compression of the shock absorber.

As with a conventional fork, the damping can be adjusted in
rebound and compression stages.
The rebound adjuster is located at the lower end of the right fork
leg.
The compression adjuster is located at the upper end of the right
fork leg.
