WARNING!
When delivered, the Öhlins shock absorber is
dialed to the recommended settings for the
specifi c brand and make of the motorcycle.
Before riding, always ensure that the basic set-
tings 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.
