Compression damping of fork
Hydraulic compression damping determines the reaction when the fork is com-
pressed. The degree of compression can be adjusted with adjusting
screws at the bottom of the fork legs.
Turn the screw [3] clockwise to increase damping, turn it counterclockwise
to reduce damping during compression.
STANDARD ADJUSTMENT:
– turn adjusting screw clockwise as far as it will go
– turn it back by as many clicks as are specified for the relevant type of fork
Typ WP Suspension 14187C01 . . . . .18 clicks
Typ WP Suspension 14187C03 . . . . .15 clicks
Rebound damping of fork
Hydraulic rebound damping determines the reaction when the fork is
rebound. Remove the protecting cap [1].
By turning the adjusting screw [2], the degree of damping of the rebound can
be adjusted. Turn the knob clockwise to increase damping, turn it counter-
clockwise to reduce damping during rebounding.
STANDARD ADJUSTMENT:
– turn adjusting screw clockwise as far as it will go
– turn it back by as many clicks as are specified for the relevant type of fork
Typ WP Suspension 14187C01 . . . . .21 clicks
Typ WP Suspension 14187C03 . . . . .20 clicks
Damping action during compression of shock absorber
The shock absorber on the SX models can synchronize the compression damp-
ing in the low and high-speed range separately (Dual Compression Control).
Low and high speed refers to the movement of the shock absorber during com-
pression and not to the speed of the motorcycle.
The low and high-speed technology overlaps.
The low-speed setting is primarily for slow to normal shock absorber
compression rates.The high-speed setting is effective at fast compression
rates.Turning in a clockwise direction will increase the damping, turning coun-
terclockwise will decrease the damping.
STANDARD LOW-SPEED SETTING:
– Turn the adjusting screw [4] to the limit in a clockwise direction using a
screwdriver .
– Unscrew the respective number of clicks for the specific type of shock
absorber in a counterclockwise direction.
Typ WP Suspension 12187C01 . . . . .15 clicks
Typ WP Suspension 12187C03 . . . . .15 clicks
The damping unit of the shock absorber is filled with high-compression nitro-
gen. Never try to take the shock absorber apart or to do any maintenance work
yourself. Severe injuries could be the result.
Never unscrew the black screw [5] connection (24mm).

in a clockwise direction.
