TUNING THE CHASSIS
10.11
Checking the basic setting of the fork
Info
For various reasons, no exact riding sag can be determined for the forks.
10.12
Adjusting the compression damping of the fork
Info
The hydraulic compression damping determines the fork suspension behavior.
Main work
–
Choose and mount a suitable spring.
Guideline
Spring rate
Weight of rider: 65... 75 kg (143...
165 lb.)
Weight of rider: 75... 85 kg (165...
187 lb.)
Weight of rider: 85... 95 kg (187...

209 lb.)
Info
The spring rate is shown on the outside of the spring.
Finishing work
–
Install the shock absorber.
–
Install the main silencer. (
–
Install the right side cover. (
–
Mount the seat. (
–
Check the static sag of the shock absorber. (
–
Check the riding sag of the shock absorber. (
–
Adjust the rebound damping of the shock absorber. (
–
Remove the motorcycle from the lift stand. (
–
As with the shock absorber, smaller differences in the rider's weight can be compen-
sated by the spring preload.
–
However, if the fork is often overloaded (hard end stop on compression), harder
springs must be fit to avoid damage to the fork and frame.

Turn the white adjusting screw
Info
Adjusting screw
The compression damping is located in the left fork leg (white adjusting
screw). The rebound damping is located in the right fork leg (red adjusting
screw).
–
Turn counterclockwise by the number of clicks corresponding to the fork type.
