6. Adjustment procedures: HIGH/LOW COMPRESSION
HIGH- & LOW-SPEED COMPRESSION
ADJUSTMENT:
The dual compression knobs located on the reservoir controls
the high- and low-speed damping of the shock absorber.
Functioning independently, the small gold-coloured knob
controls the low-speed setting (when the shaft's movement is
normal to slower like on g-outs, over small undulations, when
cornering and accelerating, etc.) and the large black knob
controls the high-speed setting (when the shaft's movement
is faster like when landing jumps, holes, etc.)
ADJUST THE LOW-SPEED COMPRESSION :
USE THE SMALL GOLD COMPRESSION ADJUSTMENT KNOB TO
ADJUST THE LOW-SPEED COMPRESSION DAMPING.
- To INCREASE (stiffen) the compression damping, you need
to turn the knob CLOCKWISE. There is a sticker on the
shock's head indicating S and H (soft, hard). Turn towards
the H.
- To REDUCE the compression damping (making the
suspension SOFTER), you need to turn the knob COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE. There is a sticker on the knob indicating
S and H (soft, hard). Turn towards the S.
You should start in the middle of the adjustment. There
are about 35 clicks of low-speed compression adjustment.
To adjust properly, turn the knob one click at a time and
take a test ride. The adjustment is more sensitive towards
the H than the S.
NOTE: Riding speed and compression speed are different. A small obstacle hit when
riding at high speed will make the shock's shaft move very fast and will be managed by
the high-speed compression damping circuit (black knob).
When the high-speed knob (large black knob) is turned, the small gold-coloured knob
follows its movement without going out of adjustment and vice versa.
