Front Shock Absorber - Adjusting The Compression Damping - KTM 525 XC ATV EU Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE
Small weight differences can be compensated by adjusting the spring preload, but in the case of large weight differences, the springs
must be replaced.
Tip
When changing the chassis settings, always start with the standard setting.
Between test rides, always change only one setting. This will enable you to better assess the effect of the setting on vehicle han-
dling.
Do not make radical changes to the settings; proceed in small steps instead. Even small changes can have a large impact on vehi-
cle handling.
