Info
Turn clockwise to increase preload; turn counterclockwise to reduce spring
preload.
Changing the spring preload has no influence on the rebound damping although
the adjusting screws turn during the adjustment work. However, you should also
adjust the rebound damping when you alter the spring preload.
10.5 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 setting, for example, has an effect on the landing after a jump: the rear wheel suspension compresses more quickly.
The low-speed setting, for example, has an effect when riding over long ground swells: the rear wheel suspension compresses more slowly.
These two ranges can be adjusted separately, although the transition between high-speed and low-speed is gradual. Thus, changes in the
high-speed range affect the compression damping in the low-speed range and vice versa.
