Ohlins SUPERBIKE FG 570 - Manual (Page 19)

Guidelines
The settings on this pressurised Front
Fork are based on what currently is being
used in Moto GP racing, furthermore the
delivery spec is something we like to refer
to as a “balanced setting”. This means that
the pressure drop over the bottom valves
(base valves) and the top pistons (ø25mm)
are matched.
In order to avoid an unnecessary high in-
ternal pressure or risk of cavitation, please
use the following guide lines when adjust-
ing the front fork.
The FG 570 front fork can be divided into
two parts. One being the so-called
rebound leg (right leg), and one the
compression leg (left leg).
Start click position in this example:
Rebound (Top right) = 10 clicks open,
Rebound base (bottom right) = 16, never
adjust
Compression (top left) = 12
Compression base (bottom left) = 12
Rebound damping adjustment.
The rebound damping is adjusted on the
top of the right leg. Standard click position
is 10 clicks open from fully closed position.
The recommended range of adjustment
with this setting is 6-16 clicks open from
fully closed position.
Compression damping adjustment.
As said earlier the compression damp-
ing on this Front fork (FG 570) has been
checked for balance at the factory be-
fore delivery. In order not to change this
matched pressure balance between the
25mm valves (main piston) and the base
valves (bottom left and right leg), please
use the following guidelines.
By changing both the top and bottom
compression adjusters at the same time
you have a greater chance of keeping the
pressure balance between these adjusters
more constant.
For individual adjustments, see next page.
