Compression damping of the shock absorber (TC 50)
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.

Adjusting the low-speed compression damping of the shock absorber
(TC 50)
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.
