REAR SUSPENSION: Off road.
The Husaberg motorcycle is delivered with an
adjustable shock absorber from WP. For a
maximum performance it needs to be adjusted
according to the riding conditions and the rider's
weight and preferences. The shock absorber
is pre-adjusted from the factory as follows:
Compression damping:
Adjustment knob low speed (Fig. 11D-2) in the
15th position from the inner, most clockwise,
position.
Adjustment knob high speed (Fig. 11D-1) two
full revolutions (+- 0.5) from the inner, most
clockwise, position.
Rebound damping:
Adjustment screw (Fig. 11E-1) in 25th position
from the bottom, most clockwise position.
+ = more damping / - = less damping
Static spring deflection:
Put the motorcycle on a stand in order to get
the rear wheel off the ground and the shock
absorber fully unloaded. Measure the distance
A1 (Fig. 11F).
Put the motorcycle on the ground; both wheels
on the ground and the rider, incl. apparel,
helmets etc., sitting on the seat and the feet on
the footrests.
Measure the distance A2 (Fig. 11F) which now
ought to be 85-100 mm less than distance A1.
If the distance is outside these limits, adjust the
pre-load ring (Fig. 11G-2) by slacking off the lock
screw (Fig. 11G-1, allen key No. 6) and then
turning the ring.
Tighten the lock screw after an appropriate
preload has been achieved.
With the motorcycle still on the ground, but now
totally unloaded, measure the distance A3 (Fig.
11F) which now ought to be 30-35 mm less than
A1.
If the distance A3 is less than 30 mm - the spring
is too soft. Try to adjust the rings until mean
distances have been achieved according to A2
and A3*.
If the distance is more than 35 mm - the spring
is too stiff. Try to adjust the rings as above*.
*If not possible - Let
Authorized Personnel
change to an appropriate spring.
