MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE 98
9.5Fork/shock absorber
700252-01
The fork and the shock absorber offer many options of adapting the chassis to your riding
style and the payload.
Info
To help you adapt the vehicle, we have summarized our findings in Table . You
will find the table on the underside of the seat. For almost all damping steps, with
the exception of the spring preload of the shock absorber, start from the maximum
screwed-in position with the highest damping factor and set to the specified values.
Do not use excessive force to turn the adjusting screws against the stop, and take
the last perceptible click as the end position.
These adjustments should be understood as a guideline and should always be the basis
of your own personal chassis adaptation. Do not change the adjustments at random or by
more than ± 40%, since otherwise the riding characteristics could deteriorate, particularly
at high speeds.
9.6Adjusting the compression damping of the fork
Info
The hydraulic compression damping determines the fork suspension behavior.
An optimally adjusted compression damping ensures that the fork does not compress too far and fast when you brake hard or when
the load shifts very fast. It gives the rider good feedback about the road conditions.
