Compression damping of fork
Hydraulic compression damping determines the reaction when the fork is com-
pressed. The degree of compression can be adjusted with adjusting
screws at the bottom of the fork legs.Remove the protecting cap [1].
Turn the screw [2] clockwise to increase damping, turn it counterclockwise
to reduce damping during compression.
STANDARD ADJUSTMENT:
– turn adjusting screw clockwise as far as it will go
– turn it back by as many clicks as are specified for the relevant type of fork
Typ WP Suspension 14187C02 . . . . .20 clicks
Typ WP Suspension 14187C04 . . . . .20 clicks
Typ WP Suspension 14187C27 . . . . .18 clicks
Typ WP Suspension 14187C28 . . . . .18 clicks
Rebound damping of fork
Hydraulic rebound damping determines the reaction when the fork is
rebound.
By turning the adjusting screw [3], the degree of damping of the rebound can
be adjusted. Turn the knob clockwise to increase damping, turn it counter-
clockwise to reduce damping during rebounding.
STANDARD ADJUSTMENT:
– turn adjusting screw clockwise as far as it will go
– turn it back by as many clicks as are specified for the relevant type of fork
Typ WP Suspension 14187C02 . . . . .20 clicks
Typ WP Suspension 14187C04 . . . . .20 clicks
Typ WP Suspension 14187C27 . . . . .20 clicks
Typ WP Suspension 14187C28 . . . . .20 clicks

Spring preload of the fork (XC, EXC Six Days)
The fork's preload can be adjusted by means of the adjusting screws [4]. Use
a 24 mm fork wrench. More information is provided in the chapter "Adjusting
the fork and shock absorber.“
Damping action during compression of shock absorber (XC. EXC Six Days)
The shock absorber on the XC/EXC Six Days models can synchronize the com-
pression damping in the low and high-speed range separately (Dual Compression
Control).
Low and high speed refers to the movement of the shock absorber during com-
pression and not to the speed of the motorcycle.
The low and high-speed technology overlaps.
The low-speed setting is primarily for slow to normal shock absorber
compression rates.The high-speed setting is effective at fast compression
rates.Turning in a clockwise direction will increase the damping, turning coun-
terclockwise will decrease the damping.
STANDARD LOW-SPEED SETTING:
– Turn the adjusting screw [5] to the limit in a clockwise direction using a
screwdriver .
– Unscrew the respective number of clicks for the specific type of shock
absorber in a counterclockwise direction.
Typ WP Suspension 14187C27 . . . . .15 clicks
Typ WP Suspension 14187C28 . . . . .15 clicks
The damping unit of the shock absorber is filled with high-compression nitro-
gen. Never try to take the shock absorber apart or to do any maintenance work
yourself. Severe injuries could be the result.
Never unscrew the black screw [6] connection (24mm).
