OPERATION INSTRUMENTS

Compression damping of fork

The fork's damping action during compression travel (compression damping) can be adjusted.

This allows you adjust the damping behavior to match your driving style and the payload.

The adjusting screws

[1]

are located on the fork leg axle passage.

More information is provided in the chapter "Adjusting the fork and shock absorber.“

Rebound damping of fork

The fork's damping action during rebound travel (rebound damping) can also be adjusted.

This allows you adjust the damping behavior to match your driving style and the payload.

The adjusting screws

[2]

are located on the upper end of the fork legs.

More information is provided in the chapter "Adjusting the fork and shock absorber.“

Spring preload of the fork

The fork's preload can be adjusted by means of the adjusting screws

[3]

More information is provided in the chapter "Adjusting the fork and shock absorber.“
