10 TUNING THE CHASSIS

As with a conventional fork, the damping can be adjusted in
rebound and compression stages.
The rebound adjuster is located at the lower end of the right fork
leg.
The compression adjuster is located at the upper end of the right
fork leg.
10.3
Compression damping of the shock absorber
The compression damping of the shock absorber is divided into two ranges: high-speed and low-speed.
High-speed and low-speed refer to the compression speed of the rear wheel suspension and not to the vehicle
speed.
The high-speed setting, for example, has an effect on the landing after a jump: the rear wheel suspension com-
presses quickly.
The low-speed setting, for example, has an effect when riding over long ground swells: the rear wheel suspen-
sion compresses slowly.
These two ranges can be adjusted separately, although the transition between high-speed and low-speed is
gradual. Thus, changes in the high-speed range affect the compression damping in the low-speed range and
vice versa.
10.4
Adjusting the low-speed compression damping of the shock absorber
Caution
Risk of injury
Parts of the shock absorber will fly off if the shock absorber is disassembled incor-
rectly.
The shock absorber is filled with highly compressed nitrogen.

Please follow the description provided. (Your authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles workshop will be
glad to help.)
Info
The effect of the low-speed setting can be seen in slow to normal compression of the shock absorber.
