KTM 65 SX - Tuning the Chassis; Adjusting the Compression Damping of the Fork

10 TUNING THE CHASSIS 22
10.1 Adjusting the compression damping of the fork
Info
The hydraulic compression damping determines the fork suspension behavior.
C00002-10
– Turn adjusting screw 1 clockwise all the way.
Info
Adjusting screw 1 is located at the top end of the right fork leg and is
labeled with COM.
– Turn back counterclockwise by the number of clicks corresponding to the fork type.
Guideline
Compression damping
Standard 2 turns
Info
Turn clockwise to increase damping; turn counterclockwise to reduce damp-
ing.
10.2 Adjusting the rebound damping of the fork
Info
The hydraulic rebound damping determines the fork suspension behavior.
C00003-10
– Turn adjusting screw 1 clockwise all the way.
Info
Adjusting screw 1 is located at the top end of the left fork leg and is
labeled with REB.
– Turn back counterclockwise by the number of clicks corresponding to the fork type.
Guideline
Rebound damping
Standard 2 turns
Info
Turn clockwise to increase damping; turn counterclockwise to reduce damp-
ing.
10.3 Adjusting the compression damping of the shock absorber
Caution
Danger of accidents Disassembly of pressurized parts can lead to injury.
– The shock absorber is filled with high density nitrogen. Adhere to the description provided. (Your authorized KTM workshop
will be glad to help.)
