Compression damping of shock absorber
The shock absorber can synchronize the compression damping in the low and high-speed
range separately (Dual Compression Control).
Low and high speed refers to the movement of the shock absorber during compression and
not to the speed of the motorcycle.
The low and high-speed technology overlaps.
The low-speed setting is primarily for slow to normal shock absorber compression rates.
The high-speed setting is effective at fast compression rates.
Turning in a clockwise direction will increase the damping, turning counterclockwise will
decrease the damping.
STANDARD ADJUSTMENT LOW-SPEED:
– turn the adjusting screw [1] to the limit in a clockwise direction using a screwdriver.
– unscrew the respective number of clicks for the specific type of shock absorber in a coun-
terclockwise direction.
