Rebound
• If the motorcycle feels unstable or so , easily losses the path or oscillates
widely, although the speed and the obstacles are small. You must ti ghten

correct may be indica ti ve of a too so ft or fa ti gued spring, and low SAE or
insu ffi cient oil level.
• If the motorcycle feels s ti ff and with short suspension travel, along with
lack of rear wheel trac ti on and high impact of the irregulari ti es, should
so ft en the adjustment in rebound of both the fork and the shock. If this
fails to correct, may be indica ti ve of a too hard spring or excessive oil level
in the fork.

• If the bike is new, get used to the suspension for at least an hour of riding
before making any changes.
• Factors to consider are the rider’s weight, ability of the rider and terrain
condi ti ons.
• If you have problems, try changing your posi ti on on the bike to reduce it.
• You must adjust the suspension to the strengths of the rider. If you are fast
on turns, adjust the suspension at this point.
• Make changes in small increments as it is very easy to miss.
• The front and rear suspension must be balanced.
• When evalua ti ng the suspension, the rider must take conscioussnes and
recognize the e ff ects of the change. A rider posi ti on and / or fa ti gue may
incorrectly view on se tti ngs.
• When the proper change for a par ti cular terrain is found it should be writ-
ten down for reference when returning to a similar terrain.
• Lubricate swingarm bearings, rods, rocker and joints before making chan-
ges to prevent excessive fric ti on a ff ec ti ng the opera ti on of the suspension.
