For correct sprIng pretension this measurement has to be about 90 to  100 mm lower 

than during the previous measurement. If this measurement is lower, lessen the spring 

pretension. If this measure higher increase the sprIng pretension. 

 

 

THE RIGHT REBOUND:

 

 

6.

  Turn the adjustment wheel by hand to the right until you come to a stop. 

 

7.

  Now turn 10 clickers to the left. This is the right rebound. On different tracks the 

rebound can be varied between 

and 

 2 to 3 clickers. 

 

THE RIGHT COMPRESSION: 

(adjustment at the leading wheel of the reservoir). 

 

8.

  Adjustment wheel has to be turned to the left. This is the right compression.
