MAINTENANCE WORK ON FRAME AND ENGINE 62
9.5Fork/shock absorber
B00183-10
The fork and the shock absorber offer many options of adapting the suspension to your rid-
ing 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 inside of the seat. In all settings except for the spring
preload of the shock absorber, the value is adjusted by first turning the screw all the
way in and then setting the value. Do not tighten the adjusting screw up against the
stop with force; set the last discernible click as the last position.
These adjustments should be understood as a guideline and should always be the basis of
your own personal suspension 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.
