Compression damping of shock absorber (690 Supermoto Prestige)
The shock absorber can synchronize the compression damping in the low and high-speed
range separately (Dual Compression Control).
Low and high speed refers to the movement of the shock absorber during compression and
not to the speed of the motorcycle.
The low and high-speed technology overlaps.
The low-speed setting is primarily for slow to normal shock absorber compression rates.
The high-speed setting is effective at fast compression rates.
Turning in a clockwise direction will increase the damping, turning counterclockwise will
decrease the damping.
STANDARD ADJUSTMENT LOW-SPEED:
– Turn adjusting screw
[1]
clockwise as far as it will go.
– Turn 15 clicks in a counterclockwise direction.
STANDARD ADJUSTMENT HIGH-SPEED:
– Turn adjusting screw
[2]
(wrench size 15 mm) clockwise as far as it will go.
– Turn 1.5 turns in a counterclockwise direction.
The damping unit of the shock absorber is filled with high-compression nitrogen. Never try
to take the shock absorber apart or to do anymaintenance work yourself. Severe injuries could
be the result.
Never unscrew the screw connection (24mm).
