Splošni premisleki glede namestitve:

4. Upravljanje in prilagajanje

The Ohlins S46ER1 suspension allows for adjustments to optimize your riding experience. Understanding and correctly utilizing these adjustments will significantly impact your motorcycle's handling and comfort.

Adjustment Functions:

  • Extension Side Attenuation (Rebound Damping):

    This adjustment controls the speed at which the shock absorber extends after being compressed. Adjusting rebound damping affects how quickly the wheel returns to the road surface after hitting a bump. Turn the adjuster clockwise for slower rebound and counter-clockwise for faster rebound. Refer to the specific Ohlins setup guide for your model for recommended settings.

  • Preload Adjustment (Stepless Screw Type):

    Spring preload determines the initial compression of the spring and thus the ride height and sag of the motorcycle. The stepless screw type allows for precise adjustments. Increasing preload will raise the ride height and reduce sag, while decreasing preload will lower the ride height and increase sag. Always adjust preload with the motorcycle on a stand, ensuring the wheel is off the ground.

Note: This model does not feature Pressure Side Attenuation (Compression Damping) adjustment.

5. Vzdrževanje

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and consistent performance of your Ohlins suspension unit. Adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Pregled: Periodically inspect the shock for any signs of oil leaks, damage to the shaft, spring, or mounting points. Check for loose fasteners.
  • Servisni intervali: Ohlins recommends regular servicing by an authorized service center. Consult your Ohlins dealer or the official Ohlins website for recommended service intervals based on your riding conditions and mileage.
