9.4 Adjusting the low-speed compression damping of the shock absorber
Caution
Risk of injury Parts of the shock absorber will move around if the shock absorber is detached incor-
rectly.
The shock absorber is filled with highly compressed nitrogen.
– Please follow the description provided. (Your WP Authorized Center will be pleased to assist you.)
Info
The effect of the low-speed setting can be seen in slow to normal compression of the shock absorber.

9.5 Adjusting the high-speed compression damping of the shock absorber
Caution
Risk of injury Parts of the shock absorber will move around if the shock absorber is detached incor-
rectly.
The shock absorber is filled with highly compressed nitrogen.
