Compression damping of shock absorber
The shock absorber can synchronize the compression damping in the low and
high-speed range separately (Dual Compression Control).
Low and high speed refers to the movement of the shock absorber during com-
pression and not to the speed of the motorcycle.
The low and high-speed technology overlaps.
The low-speed setting is primarily for slow to normal shock absorber compres-
sion rates.
The high-speed setting is effective at fast compression rates.
Turning in a clockwise direction will increase the damping, turning counter-
clockwise will decrease the damping.
STANDARD ADJUSTMENT LOW-SPEED:
– turn the adjusting screw [1] to the limit in a clockwise direction using a
screwdriver.
– unscrew the respective number of clicks for the specific type of shock absorber
in a counterclockwise direction.

STANDARD ADJUSTMENT HIGH-SPEED:
– Turn the adjusting screw in a clockwise direction up to the stop with a
socket wrench (wrench size 17 mm).
– Turn the adjusting screw in a counterclockwise direction the number of
turns specified for the respective type of shock absorber.

THE DAMPING UNIT OF THE SHOCK ABSORBER IS FILLED WITH HIGH-COMPRES-
SION NITROGEN. NEVER TRY TO TAKE THE SHOCK ABSORBER APART OR TO DO
ANYMAINTENANCE WORK YOURSELF. SEVERE INJURIES COULD BE THE RESULT.
NEVER UNSCREW THE BLACK SCREW CONNECTION (24MM).
Rebound damping of shock absorber
By using the adjusting screw [4], the degree of damping of the rebound can
be adjusted. Turn the knob in a clockwise direction to increase damping, turn
it in a counterclockwise direction to reduce damping during rebounding.
STANDARD ADJUSTMENT:
– turn the adjusting screw clockwise to the stop.
– then turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise, counting the number of
clicks that corresponds to the respective type of shock absorber.
950 Adventure . . . . . . . .15 clicks
