Loose, worn or damaged suspension components may affect the stability and handling of your motorcycle.
If any of the suspension components seem to be worn or damaged, see your Xmotos dealer for service
and/or inspection. Your Xmotos dealer is the most qualified to determine whether or not replacement
parts or service is required.
Your motorcycle is new. Break it in for about 2 hours with the original settings before attempting
adjustments.
1.
Check the fork operation by pulling in the front brake
lever and holding it to lock the front wheel.
2.
Next, pump down on the handle bars several times. The
suspension should feel clean and smooth.
3.
Check the lower end of the forks (near the wheel) for oil
leaks.
4.
Inspect the upper
and lower triple clamps
for
tightness.
5.
Be sure all the triple clamp bolts
are tight.
6.
Examine the metal for any cracks, wear or other
damage.
7.
Be sure there is no free-play in the steering head.
1.
On the top of the fork, you will find a screw head (or a
clicker).
2.
It will have the writing S – H, meaning Soft & Hard or
the marks {
+
} or {
-
}. This is the Compression Adjuster.
3.
If you turn the screw
toward the “H” {
+
}, the
downward action of the fork will harden. Alternatively,
if you turn the screw toward the “S” {
-
}, the
downward action of the fork will soften.
4.
To get a good feel for the difference this can make, try
turning both screws all the way to the “H” {
+
} position,
then go for a ride. Don’t try and set any new records
thought. Once you have a good feel for the ride, try
turning the screws all the way to the “S” {
-
} position
and compare the difference.
No Adjustments Necessary
DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR THE FORKS.
IF REPAIR IS NECESSARY, TAKE THE
MOTORCYCLE TO AN XMOTOS DEALER.
NOTICE
Only follow instructions on right if your
motorcycle has adjustable suspension.
