ADJUSTING THE SUSPENSIONS ACCORDING TO PARTICULAR TRACK CONDITIONS
The following information is a useful guide for setting up the suspensions according to the road conditions.
Always start from the standard calibration before making any change on the suspensions. Afterwards, increase or decrease the adjusting
clicks one at a time.
HARD GROUND
Fork: softer compression adjustment.
Shock absorber: softer compression adjustment.
The softer adjustment for the two suspensions is also used both in compression and in extension when driving at top speed, in order to
have better grip of the tires.
SANDY GROUND
Fork: have a harder compression adjustment, or replace the standard spring with a harder one, and make a softer compression adjustment
and a harder extension adjustment at the same time.
Shock absorber: have a harder compression, and expecially a harder extension adjustment. Work on the spring preload to lower the
motorcycle rear side.
MUDDY GROUND
Fork: have a harder compression adjustment, or replace the standard spring with a harder one.
Shock absorber: have a harder compression and extension adjustments, or replace the standard spring with a harder one. Work on the
spring preload to lift the motorcycle rear side.
We advise replacing the springs of both suspensions to compensate the weight increase due to the piling of the mud.
NOTE:
When the fork results as either too soft or too hard for any adjustment conditions, check the oil level inside the forkrod.
The level can either be too low or too high. Remember that too much oil inside the fork will involve a more frequent air drainage. When the
suspensions do not react to the changes of calibration, check that the adjusting units are not blocked.
The springs available upon request, together with the preload spacers, are shown on chapter “Optional parts list”.
