10 TUNING THE CHASSIS 30
– Check the riding sag of the shock absorber. ( p. 28)
– Adjust the rebound damping of the shock absorber. ( p. 27)
10.11 Checking the basic setting of the fork
Info
For various reasons, no exact riding sag can be determined for the forks.

– 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.
10.12 Adjusting the compression damping of the fork
Info
The hydraulic compression damping determines the fork suspension behavior.

– Remove protection caps 1.
– Turn adjusting screws 2 clockwise all the way.
Info
Adjusting screws 2 are located at the bottom end of the fork legs.
Make the same adjustment on both fork legs.
– Turn counterclockwise by the number of clicks corresponding to the fork type.
Guideline
Compression damping
Comfort 18 clicks
Standard 15 clicks
Sport 12 clicks
Info
Turn clockwise to increase damping; turn counterclockwise to reduce damp-
ing.
– Mount protection caps 1.
10.13 Adjusting the rebound damping of the fork
Info
