12 TUNING THE CHASSIS
64
12.1 Fork/shock absorber
F02790-10
The fork and the shock absorber offer many options of adapting
the chassis to your riding style and the payload.
Info
To help you adapt the vehicle, we have summarized our
findings in Table
1
. You can find the table under the pas-
senger seat cover.
These adjustments should be understood as a guideline and
should always be the basis for one’s personal suspension setting.
Do not change the adjustments at random, as otherwise the riding
characteristics could deteriorate, particularly at high speeds.
12.2 Adjusting the compression damping of the fork
Info
The hydraulic compression damping determines the fork suspension behavior.

– Turn counterclockwise by the number of clicks corresponding
to the fork type.
