SUSPENSION SETTING
102
Info
Turn clockwise to increase the spring preload; turn counterclockwise to reduce
the spring preload.
Adjusting the spring preload has no influence on the absorption setting of the
rebound damping.
Basically, however, you should set the rebound damping higher with a higher
spring preload.
12.5
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 when riding over an asphalt edge: the rear wheel suspension compresses quickly.
The low-speed setting, for example, has an effect when riding over long ground swells: the rear wheel suspension compresses more 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
Caution
Danger of accidents
Disassembly of pressurized parts can lead to injury.
–
The shock absorber is filled with high density nitrogen. Adhere to the description provided. (Your authorized KTM workshop will
be glad to help.)
Info
The low-speed setting takes effect during the slow to normal compression of the shock absorber.
