10 TUNING THE CHASSIS 31
Info
The spring rate is shown on the outside of the spring.
Finishing work
–
Install the shock absorber. x ( p. 43)
–
Install the manifold. x
– Check the static sag of the shock absorber. ( p. 29)
– Check the riding sag of the shock absorber. ( p. 29)
– Adjust the rebound damping of the shock absorber. ( p. 28)
– Remove the motorcycle from the lift stand. ( p. 34)
10.11 Checking the basic setting of the fork
Info
For various reasons, no exact riding sag can be determined for the forks.

– As with the shock absorber, smaller differences in the rider's weight can be com-
pensated by the spring preload.
– However, if the fork is often overloaded (hard end stop on compression), harder
springs must be fit to avoid damage to the fork and frame.
10.12 Adjusting the compression damping of the fork
Info
The hydraulic compression damping determines the fork suspension behavior.

–
Turn adjusting screws
clockwise all the way.
Info
Adjusting screws
are located at the top end of the fork legs.
Make the same adjustment on both fork legs.
– Turn counterclockwise by the number of clicks corresponding to the fork type.
Guideline
Compression damping
Comfort 14 clicks
Standard 12 clicks
Sport 10 clicks
Info
Turn clockwise to increase damping; turn counterclockwise to reduce
damping.

(SX‑F USA, XC‑F)
–
Turn the white adjusting screw
all the way clockwise.
Info
Adjusting screw
is located at the upper end of the left fork leg.
The compression damping is located in the left fork leg (white adjusting
screw). The rebound damping is located in the right fork leg (red adjust-
ing screw).
