Troubleshooting, fault clearance and repair
9.1.8.4 Excessively hard damping on bumps
When the bike hits a bump, the fork deflects too
slowly and the wheel lifts up from the bump.
Traction decreases when the wheel no longer
touches the ground.
The headset and handlebars are deflected
upwards significantly, which can impair control.

Solution
Figure 106: Changing compression adjuster to a softer
setting
To increase sensitivity to small bumps, turn the
compression adjuster anti-clockwise to
decrease damping and hardness and increase
the deflection speed.
