SET-UP DATA
WARNING!
When delivered, the Öhlins shock absorber is
dialed to the recommended settings for the spe-
cific 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.
Do not use force, delicate sealing surfaces can
be damaged. Handtighten only.
Compression damping adjuster
Adjust on top of the reservoir.
Low speed adjuster: Slotted centre screw.
High speed adjuster: Hexagon screw.
Rebound damping adjuster
Adjust by turning the adjuster wheel
above the end eye.

Short spring stroke adjuster
- Cross over
The total spring characteristics can be
adjusted by moving the spring platforms
on the floating 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
using C-spanners.
