ADJUSTING THE SUSPENSIONS ACCORDING TO
PARTICULAR TRACK CONDITIONS
The following information is a useful guide for setting up the
suspensions according to the road conditions.
Always start from the standard calibration before making any
change on the suspensions. Afterwards, increase or decrease the
adjusting clicks one at a time.
HARD GROUND
Fork: softer compression adjustment.
Shock absorber: softer compression adjustment.
The softer adjustment for the two suspensions is also used both
in compression and in extension when driving at top speed, in
order to have better grip of the tires.

SANDY GROUND
Fork: have a harder compression adjustment, or replace the
standard spring with a harder one, and make a softer compres-
sion adjustment and a harder extension adjustment at the same
time.
Shock absorber: have a harder compression, and expecially a
harder extension adjustment. Work on the spring preload to
lower the motorcycle rear side.
MUDDY GROUND
Fork: have a harder compression adjustment, or replace the
standard spring with a harder one.
Shock absorber: have a harder compression and extension ad-
justments, or replace the standard spring with a harder one.
Work on the spring preload to lift the motorcycle rear side.
We advise replacing the springs of both suspensions to compen-
sate the weight increase due to the piling of the mud.
NOTE:
When the fork results as either too soft or too hard for any ad-
justment conditions, check the oil level inside the forkrod.
The level can either be too low or too high. Remember that too
much oil inside the fork will involve a more frequent air drain-
age. When the suspensions do not react to the changes of cali-
bration, check that the adjusting units are not blocked.
