11.3 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.
11.4 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.
