CAOFEN F80 - Compression Damping Adjustment

● When driving on a mountain road or a curved road, rotate the adjusting knob of rebound damping clockwise to slow down the rebound and reduce
the motorcycle shaking;
● When driving in urban areas or on bad roads, the adjusting knob of rebound damping can be rotated counterclockwise to make the shock absorber

rebound faster and less hard;
■ Compression damping adjustment
● As shown in Figure 2 on Page 31, the compression damping can be
adjusted by rotating the blue adjusting knob of compression damping on
the upper fixing base of rear shock absorber.
● Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the compression damping and
make the front shock absorber hard when pressed down; rotate it
counterclockwise to reduce the compression damping and make the front
reducer soft when pressed down.
● The compression damping can be adjusted by 18 segments. It is
generally adjusted clockwise to the maximum and then counterclockwise
to the required segment. When adjusting, the force applied should be
moderate, and the adjustment stopped immediately in case of slight
resistance, so as not to exceed the bearing limit of the adjusting screw.

● Compression damping can be set according to the rider's weight, habits and road conditions:
● When driving on the flat road, adjust the compression adjusting screw clockwise to increase the damping, and increase driving stability;
● When the load is increased, the compression damping can be appropriately increased so as not to bottom out the shock absorber;
● When the body sinks too fast or shakes excessively when making a turn, the compression damping can be appropriately increased;
● When driving on bad roads, the compression adjusting screw should be adjusted counterclockwise to decrease the damping and improve the driving
comfort;
● When the shock absorber sinks slowly, or the shock absorber become hard and the body jumps when passing through poor roads, the compression
damping can be reduced appropriately.
