9.1.7.4 Excessively hard damping on bumps
When the bike hits a bump, the fork travels too
slowly and the wheel lifts up from the bump.
Traction decreases when the wheel no longer
touches the ground.
Figure 217: Excessively hard damping in the suspension fork on bumps
Solution
Figure 218: Changing compression adjuster to a softer
setting
Turn compression adjuster in a clockwise
direction towards OPEN.
The damping and compression hardness
reduces and the stroke speed is
increased. Sensitivity to small bumps is
increased.
Troubleshooting, fault clearance and repair
The headset and handlebars move upwards
significantly, which can impair control.
