Checking basic setting of fork
Info
For various reasons, no exact riding sag can be determined for the forks.
11.12
Adjusting the compression damping of the fork
Info
The hydraulic compression damping determines the fork suspension behavior.
11.13
Adjusting the rebound damping of the fork
Info
The hydraulic rebound damping determines the fork suspension behavior.
Finishing work
–
Install the shock absorber.
–
Remove the motorcycle from the lift stand. (
–
Check the static sag of the shock absorber. (
–
Check the riding sag of the shock absorber. (
–
Adjust the rebound damping of the shock absorber. (
–
As with the shock absorber, smaller differences in the rider's weight can be com-
pensated by the spring preload.
–
However, if the fork is often overloaded (hard end stop on compression), harder
springs must be fit to avoid damage to the fork and frame.
