12 TUNING THE CHASSIS

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 slowly.
These two ranges can be adjusted separately, although the transition between high-speed and low-speed is grad-
ual. Thus, changes in the high-speed range affect the compression damping in the low-speed range and vice
versa.

Adjusting the high-speed compression damping of the shock absorber (RC 390 R EU)
Caution
Risk of injury
Parts of the shock absorber will move around if the shock absorber is detached incorrectly.
The shock absorber is filled with highly compressed nitrogen.

Please follow the description provided. (Your authorized KTM workshop will be glad to help.)
Info
The effect of the high-speed setting can be seen in fast compression of the shock absorber.
