Front fork springs
To optimize the road holding qualities of a
motorcycle the front fork must match the rear
suspension. Öhlins springs are available for a
large number of motorcycles (Fig.9). These, in
combination with Öhlins shock absorbers, con-
tribute to superior road holding qualities. The
original make of springs should be used if there
are none of our springs in the recommendation
table. However, they must be in good condition
and not fatigued. Remember to change the fluid
in the front fork at least once every year. We
recommend Öhlins front fork oil.

Sensitivity of the steering can be adjusted by alter-
ing the length of the shock absorber, without affect-
ing other characteristics. The length is adjusted us-
ing two nuts down and the treaded clevis at the end
of the piston rod.

The shock absorber can be adjusted up to 12 mm.

The length may never be altered more than to where
the groove that is cut in the thread becomes just
visible (Fig.10).
