9.1.8.4 Excessively hard damping on bumps
When the bike hits a bump, the shock travel too
slowly and the rear wheel lifts up from the
bump. Traction is reduced (blue line).
Figure 225: Excessively hard damping in the rear shock on bumps
Solution
Figure 226: Suntour compression adjuster (1) on the
rear shock
Turn compression adjuster counter clockwise.
The damping and compression hardness is
reduced and the stroke speed is increased.
Sensitivity to small bumps is increased.
Troubleshooting, fault clearance and repair
Saddle and rider are pushed upwards and
forwards, the rear wheel loses contact with
the ground and control is reduced (green line).
