– Remove the motorcycle from the lift stand. ( p. 49)
– Adjust the rebound damping of the shock absorber. ( p. 43)
– Install the KTM PowerPack. ( p. 96)
– Lock the seat. ( p. 63)
– Check the static sag of the shock absorber. ( p. 44)
– Check the riding sag of the shock absorber. ( p. 44)
11.11 Checking the basic setting of the fork
Info
For various reasons, no exact riding sag can be determined for the fork.
401000-01
– 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.
11.12 Adjusting the compression damping of the fork
Info
The hydraulic compression damping determines the fork suspension behavior.
Preparatory work
– Deactivate the vehicle. ( p. 37)
– Fold the seat up. ( p. 63)
– Remove the KTM PowerPack. ( p. 96)
– Mount the covering cap. ( p. 64)
