12. Adjustment of compression damping
Rebound damping action affects the characteristics
of the motorcycle most. The setting knob is located
at the bottom on the piston rod (Fig.11).
It can be adjusted in about 40 steps. The
compression damping adjuster is located at the end
of the reservoir (Fig.12). This can be adjusted in
about 25 steps.

Compression damping is set with a knob or a

adjustable in about 25 steps.
Some models (PRX and PRXQ) have separate
adjusters for high speed compression and low
speed compression (Fig.13). The low speed
compression is adjusted in 25 steps.
speed compression (Fig.13). The low speed
compression is adjusted in 25 steps.
The high speed adjuster has a wide range within
four (4) turns. Adjust a half turn (180
°) at a time.
Setting the damping
The adjusting possibilities of Öhlins shock
absorbers facilitate fine setting. You can optimize
adjustments to suit your own weight and
equipment, your individual way of riding and the
condition of the road. To be able to improve the
road holding qualities it is of the utmost importance
that you fully understand the functioning of the
shock absorbers. Then you can learn by trial and
error how they affect the motorcycle.

Depending on the model there are adjustments
for rebound damping, compression damping and
adjustment of the length of the shock absorber.
Damping is set with knobs and screws with a normal
right-hand thread. By turning you can increase the
damping action or reduce it. The adjuster have
definite positions with a noticeable “click”, so it is
easy to count to the right setting.

NOTE!
When making new adjustments it is easiest to go
back to fully closed, and then count forward to
the new setting. The adjusting device should not

On MX/Enduro dampers the adjustment must
be made when the shock absorber is cold.
NOTE!
If no ”click” is felt, on the rebound adjusting knob,
the shock absorber must be inspected by an au-
thorized service workshop. It could be due to in-
correct or lack of gas pressure.
