10 TUNING THE CHASSIS

10.1 Fork/shock absorber
101980-10
The fork and the shock absorber offer many options of adapting the chassis to your riding
style and the payload.
Info
To help you adapt the vehicle, we have summarized our findings in Table

. You
can find the table on the underside of the seat.
These adjustments should be understood as a guideline and should always be the basis of
your own personal suspension setting. Do not change the settings at random or by more
than ± 40%, since otherwise the riding characteristics could deteriorate, particularly at
high speeds.
