TUNING THE CHASSIS 11
47
11.1 Checking the basic chassis setting with rider's weight
Info
When adjusting the basic chassis setting, first adjust the shock absorber and then the fork.

–
For optimal motorcycle riding characteristics and to avoid
damage to forks, shock absorbers, link fork and frame, the
basic settings of the suspension components must match the
rider's weight.
–
As delivered, Husqvarna motorcycles are adjusted for an
average rider's weight (with full protective clothing).
Guideline
Standard rider weight 75 … 85 kg (165 … 187 lb.)
–
If the rider's weight is above or below this range, the basic
setting of the suspension components must be adjusted
accordingly.
–
Small weight differences can be compensated by adjust-
ing the spring preload, but in the case of large weight differ-
ences, the springs must be replaced.
11.2 Compression damping of the shock absorber
The compression damping of the shock absorber is divided into two ranges: high-speed and low-speed.
High-speed and low-speed refer to the compression speed of the rear wheel suspension and not to the vehicle
speed.
The high-speed compression adjuster has an effect, for example, when landing after a jump: the rear wheel
suspension compresses quickly.
The low-speed compression adjuster has an effect, for example, when riding over long ground swells: the rear
wheel suspension compresses slowly.
These two ranges can be adjusted separately, although the transition between high-speed and low-speed is
gradual. Thus, modifications in the high-speed range affect the compression damping in the low-speed range
and vice versa.
11.3 Adjusting the low-speed compression damping of the shock absorber
Caution
Risk of injury Parts of the shock absorber will move around if the shock absorber is detached incor-
rectly.
The shock absorber is filled with highly compressed nitrogen.

Please follow the description provided. (Your authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles workshop will be
glad to help.)
Info
The effect of the low-speed compression adjuster can be seen in slow to normal compression of the
shock absorber.
