WITH SET-UP DATA
During storage and transportation, espe-
cially at high ambient temperature, some
of the oil and grease used for assembling
may leak and stain the packaging. This is
in no way detrimental to the product, wipe
off the excessive oil/grease with a cloth.
INSTALL THE SHOCK ABSORBER
WARNING!
It is advisable to have an Öhlins dealer install the
shock absorber.
WARNING!
Make sure that all screws are tightened to the
correct torque and that nothing fouls or restricts
movement of the shock absorber when the sus-
pension is fully compressed or extended.

WARNING!
Make sure the vehicle is securely supported so
that it will not tip.
3
1
Raise the front end of the vehicle so that the
original shock absorbers are in a neutral posi-
tion.
2
Remove the original shock absorbers.
3
Install the Öhlins shock absorbers in the same
positions as the original units. Fasten the up-
per attachment fi rst. The piggy back reservoirs
should be at the top and facing outwards.
4
Fasten the lower attachment. Raise or lower
the wheels slightly to make the attachment fi t.
5
Tighten the attachment screws to the correct
torque. Consult your ATV Owner’s manual.
6
Check sag and ride height according to the
Öhlins Owner’s manual. See also Set-up data

SET-UP DATA
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING!
When delivered, the Öhlins shock absorber is
dialed to the recommended settings for the spe-
cifi c brand and make of the motorcycle. Before
riding, always ensure that the basic settings
made by Öhlins are intact.
To set the adjuster:
The turn adjusters have a normal right hand
thread. Turn the damping adjusters clock-
wise to fully closed (position zero [0]). Then,
turn counter clockwise to open, and count
the clicks until you reach the recommended
number of clicks. See Set-up data.
Do not use force, delicate sealing surfaces can
be damaged. Handtighten only.
Compression damping
Adjustments are made on top of the
reservoir. Turn clockwise to increase com-
pression damping, turn counter clockwise
to decrease.
Spring Pre-load
Adjust by moving the upper spring seat
circlip to another groove.
Short spring stroke adjuster
The total spring characteristics can be ad-
justed by moving the spring platform nuts
on the fl oating sleeve. The spring platform
position decides when the stroke for the
short spring is blocked. At this point, the
total spring stiffness will increase on com-
pression stroke. Lock the spring platforms
against each other with the C-spanners.
