Setting
The steering damper has three extern setting possibilities, i.e., setting of
3
the damper valve (1), high speed valve (2) and sweep valves (3), which
regulate the damping area.
2
Damper valve
The Öhlins steering damper is delivered with the damper valve (1) set in a
basic position that gives maximum basic damping. For enduro and moto-
cross it is suitable to set the damping valve in position 7-8 clicks out
from full clockwise depending on the track and the rider. Turn clockwise
to increase damping and anticlockwise to reduce it.
NOTE: To avoid leakage of fluid, never open more than two whole turns. If
damper pressure is off, i.e., position about 20 clicks counter clockwise, there
will still be damping action in the event of fast movements because the high
speed valve will come into action.
We recommend that you adjust the damper valve (1) at least to position 4
when screwed all the way out in a clockwise direction.
An incorrectly adjusted damper valve can lead to problems in extreme situa-
tions,e.g. it makes rapid correction of the steering wheel angle more diffi-
cult. In addition, an incorrectly adjusted damper valve (position 1 - 3 ) can
lead to needless material loads that may result in material fatigue and even
in fracture of the frame of the steering damper holder and to damage to the
steering damper itself.
High speed valve
The high speed valve (2) is set between 11/4 to 2 turns from the bottom
position, suitable for enduro, motocross and rally. For all riding, the high
speed valve must be screwed up at least 1 turn from the bottom. Turn
clockwise to increase damping and anticlockwise to reduce it.
Damping sweep controls
The damping sweep controls (3) are located on each side of the damper body.
Damping is in position 2 (12 o'clock), when delivered fröm Öhlins or Scotts.
This setting is fitted for enduro, motocross and rally driving.
NOTE: Both damping sweep controls must always be set in identical positi-
ons. Always use positions according to the clock.
Maintenance and inspection
The steering damper is a precision instrument, with extremely fine toleran-
ces. It is therefore essential that it is maintained in a correct manner.
Maintenance and service should be carried out by an Öhlins or Scotts
agent. After washing the motorcycle wipe clean and spray with all-round
oil.
NOTE: Never subject to direct high pressure flushing because water may other-
wise penetrate the damper
Fluid and service
Ensure that there is no leakage of fluid and that there is no visible damage
to the housing and mounts. Change the fluid regularly. In new dampers
after 10 hours riding and then every 20 hours riding. If the steering dam-
per needs service, Öhlins or Scotts agents have the proper tools and know-
how to solve all technical problems.
