10.3 Adjusting the rebound damping of the fork
Info
The hydraulic rebound damping determines the fork suspension behavior.
S04585-11
–
Turn red adjusting screw
1
clockwise as far as it will go.
Info
Adjusting screw
1
is located at the upper end of the
right fork leg.
The rebound damping is located in right fork leg REB
(red adjusting screw). The compression damping is
located in left fork leg COMP (white adjusting screw).
– Turn counterclockwise by the number of clicks corresponding
to the fork type.
Guideline
Rebound damping
Comfort 20 clicks
Standard 15 clicks
Sport 10 clicks
Full payload 10 clicks
Info
Turn clockwise to increase the damping; turn counter-
clockwise to reduce damping when the shock absorber
rebounds.
10.4 Compression damping of the shock absorber
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 compression adjuster, for example, has an effect when riding over an asphalt edge: the rear wheel
suspension compresses quickly.
The low-speed compression adjuster has an effect, for example, when riding over long ground swells: the rear
wheel suspension compresses slowly.
These two ranges can be adjusted separately, although the transition between high-speed and low-speed is grad-
ual. Thus, modifications in the high-speed range affect the compression damping in the low-speed range and vice
versa.
10.5 Adjusting the low-speed compression damping of the shock absorber
Caution
Risk of injury Parts of the shock absorber will move around if the shock absorber is detached incorrectly.
The shock absorber is filled with highly compressed nitrogen.
