10 TUNING THE CHASSIS 27
10.1 Adjusting the compression damping of the fork
Info
The hydraulic compression damping determines the fork suspension behavior.
An optimally adjusted compression damping ensures that the fork does not compress too far and fast when you brake hard or
when the load shifts very fast. It gives the rider good feedback about the road conditions.

Turn adjusting screws
1
clockwise to the stop.
Info
The adjusting screws are located at the bottom end of the fork legs.
Make the same adjustment on both fork legs.
– Turn back counterclockwise by the number of clicks corresponding to the fork type.
Guideline
Compression damping
Standard 10 clicks
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.
An optimally adjusted rebound damping attenuates the spring energy and enables the fork to return to the zero position quickly
and without oscillations.

10.3 Adjusting the spring preload of the fork
Info
The spring preload determines the initial fork position.
