ADJUSTMENTS
Shock Damping Adjustments
(Front and Rear)
XT-P and LTD Models
Perform adjustments
one
position (click) at a time.
Test run the vehicle under the same conditions.
Proceed methodically until you are satisfied.
Low Speed Compression Damping
Low speed compression damping controls how
the shock absorber reacts to a low suspension ve-
locity (slow compression strokes, in most cases
when riding at lower speeds).

TYPICAL - LTD MODEL
1. Low speed compression adjuster
Turning it clockwise (H)
increases
shock damping
action (stiffer).
Turning it counterclockwise (S)
decreases
shock
damping action (softer).
High Speed Compression Damping
XT-P Models
High speed compression damping controls how
the shock absorber reacts to a high suspension
velocity (quick compression strokes, in most
cases when riding at higher speeds).
ACTION
RESULT ON SMALL
BUMPS
Increasing high speed

Softer compression
damping (fast
compression)
Use a 17 mm wrench to adjust it.

TYPICAL
1. High speed compression adjuster (17 mm socket)
Turning it clockwise (H)
increases
shock damping
action (harder).
Turning it counterclockwise (S)
decreases
shock
damping action (softer).
Rebound Damping
XT-P Models
Use a flat screwdriver to adjust it.
