(TC 50)
–
Smaller differences in the rider's weight can be compen-
sated for by the fork air pressure.
–
However, if the fork frequently bottoms out (hard end
stop on compression), the fork air pressure must be
increased, within the specified values, to avoid damage to
the fork and frame.
(TC 50 Mini)
–
As with the shock absorber, smaller differences in the
rider's weight can be compensated by the spring preload.
–
However, if the fork frequently bottoms out (hard end
stop on compression), harder springs must be fitted to
avoid damage to the fork and frame.
10.13 Adjusting the fork air pressure (TC 50)
Warning
Danger of accidents Modifications to the suspension setting may seriously alter the handling charac-
teristic.
Extreme modifications to the suspension setting may cause a serious deterioration in the handling
characteristic and overload components.
–
Only make adjustments within the recommended range.
–
Make sure your child rides slowly to start with after making adjustments in order that he or she can
assess the new handling characteristic.
Info
Check or adjust the air pressure under the same conditions at the earliest 5 minutes after switching off
the engine.
The air suspension is located in the left fork leg. The rebound damping is located in the right fork leg.
