Basic suspension setup for the weight of the driver
To achieve maximum handling performance and to prevent the fork, shock absorber, swing arm and
frame from being damaged, the basic setup of the suspension components must be suitable for your
child’s weight. At delivery, the fork and shock absorber are set to accommodate a driver weighing
between 15....40kg (30..88 lb.) (wearing full protective clothing). If your child’s weight exceeds or falls
short of this range, you will need to adjust the spring components accordingly.
Minor deviations in weight can be compensated by adjusting the spring pre-load on the shock absor-
ber. Other springs must be mounted on the fork and shock absorber for larger deviations.
Checking the shock absorber and spring
You can establish whether or not the shock absorber spring is suitable for your child’s weight by checking
the riding sag. The static sag must be correctly adjusted before the riding sag can be determined.
The dust-protection bellows 1 are to remove dust and coarse dirt particles from the fork tube. However,
after some time, dirt may also get in behind the dust-protection bellows. If this dirt is not removed, the
oil sealing rings located behind it may start to leak.
Use a screwdriver to lift the dust-protection bellows out of the outer tubes and slide them downward.
Clean dust-protection bellows, outer tubes, and fork tubes thoroughly, and oil them thoroughly with oil-
spray or engine oil. Then, push dust-protection bellows into the outer tubes by hand.

No oil may reach the front tire or the brake disks since this would consider-ably reduce the
tire’s road grip and the braking effect of the front brake.
