Set Up Manual KW-Clubsport
No. 685 79 026
Our 2-way adjustable competition shock absorber is based on the KW twin tube damping system, and
features independent rebound adjustment. Depending on the sealing and the adjusting system of the
individual kit, our systems may be charged with pressures of 3 to 8 bars, or without any pressure at all.
Adjusting rebound:
The rebound adjustment is positioned in most cases at the end of the piston rod (top of strut). Please use
the supplied KW adjustment wheel on the extruded tab adjuster for all adjustments.
1
st
step:
Place the KW adjuster on the adjustment Allen bolt.
2
nd
step:
Turn the adjuster clockwise to the right until it stops. This is now adjusted to full hard.
(clockwise=harder).
3
rd
step:
Turn the KW adjuster clockwise to soften the rebound setting to the desired level. The
effective adjustment range is from 0 - 16 clicks open.
Attention:
Never drive the vehicle with the shock absorbers set to full hard or full soft! Never apply force to the
adjusting mechanism of the shock absorber. As soon as you reach the end of the adjustment range, you
will recognize a certain resistance. Stop turning to avoid damage to the bottom valve.
Rebound adjusting principles:
In general a soft rebound adjustment provides a comfortable ride at low vehicle speeds but the vehicle will
have less stability at higher speeds, especially on the front axle (vehicle will tend to float at higher speeds).
A hard rebound adjustment offers more stability but could reduce vehicle grip (i.e. the vehicle will tend to
skip across road imperfections, reducing traction).
