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.
Do not use force, delicate sealing surfaces can
be damaged. Handtighten only.
Spring pre-load
Loosen the screw of the spring platform
clamp. Use the C-spanner provided in
this kit, turn the spring platform to the
desired position. Or, when installed on
the vehicle, turn the spring by hand.
Tighten the screw of the spring platform
clamp when done with the adjustment.
