10.1 Fork/shock absorber
S03280-10
The fork and the shock absorber offer many options for adapting
the chassis to the riding style and the payload.
Info
The recommendations for the suspension setting are shown
in table
1
. The table is located on the underside of the
front rider's seat.
These adjustments should be understood as a guideline and
should always be the basis for one’s own personal suspension
setting. Do not change the adjustments at random, as otherwise
the riding characteristics could deteriorate, particularly at high
speeds.
10.2 Adjusting the compression damping of the fork
Info
The hydraulic compression damping determines the fork suspension behavior.
