TUNING
TUNING THE FRONT SUSPENSION
The front suspension is formed by two wishbone arms with 2 multiple-
adjustment ÖHLINS shock absorbers.
To adapt to the different types of riding conditions, the shock absorber
springs can be adjusted or replaced by another optional unit. The
tension can be easily adjusted, so it is not necessary to change the
oil density.
Rebound adjustment
WARNING
Suspension parts will be hot during operation.
Never touch the compression shock absorber, the rebound adjustment
or the oil reservoir with naked hands or unprotected skin until they
have cooled down.

To adjust the rebound, turn the knob
(B)
in the lower part of the shock absorber
with your hand.
There are 22 available positions, each
one of them reached by turning the knob
until you feel a "click". The shock absorber
comes regulated to 7 clicks as standard.
Turn the knob clockwise until the end,
now it is totally closed. Turn the knob
anti-clockwise 7 clicks, and it is in the
standard setting. Leaving it in the 0-click
position makes it very hard, while position
22 makes it very soft.
WARNING
Always adjust the right and left absorbers with the same measure.
Unequal adjustments will cause handling problems and loss of
stability, with the subsequent risk of accident.
Compression adjustment
For the compression adjustment, turn the knob
(A)
at the top of the
shock absorber with your hand (in 2002 models a flat tip screwdriver
is required for this operation). Turn the knob clockwise to the end
and you will close it totally.
The total number of available positions is 38 clicks.
The standard setting comes with 20 clicks.
Hard compression setting is 0 clicks.
Totally soft compression is 38 clicks.
