WARNING!
When delivered, the Öhlins shock absorber is
dialed to the recommended settings for the
specific 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
clockwise 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.
1
Raise the rear end of the vehicle so that the
original shock absorbers are in a neutral
position.
2
Remove the original shock absorbers.
3
Install the Öhlins shock absorbers. The
cylinder head should be at the top and the
piggyback reservoir facing backwards.
Fasten the upper attachment first.
WARNING!
1. It is advisable to have an Öhlins dealer install
the shock absorber.
2. Follow the instructions in the vehicle service
manual when changing the shock absorber.
3. When working on a raised vehicle, make sure
that it is securely supported to prevent it from
tipping over.

4
Fasten the lower attachment. Raise or lower
the wheels slightly to make the attachment fit.

Tighten the attachment screws to the correct
torque. Consult your ATV Owners manual.
