If your body weight is less than 70 kg or exceeds 80 kg, adequate fork
springs must be used.
If you are in doubt or have any questions, please contact your authorised
TM dealer.
According to our experience, the dampening grade in compression
can remain unvaried. With a softer spring, the dampening grade in
rebound can be reduced by some clicks, with a harder spring, increased
by some clicks.

The rear suspension of all TM motorcycles has a link-rod and rocker
mechanism that progressively changes the lever relationship between
the wheel and the rear shock.
This mechanism works on bearings, which must be cleaned and
greased at the envisioned intervals to maintain the working of the
suspension efficient.
When cleaning the motorcycle with high pressure cleaning devices,
do not aim the jet completely onto the suspension mechanical linkage.
