damage or loss.
Certain spare parts and accessory products are specified in parentheses in the descriptions. Your WP Autho-
rized Center will be pleased to advise you.
3.4 Service
A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of premature wear is that the service, care, and tuning work
is properly carried out as described in the Owner's Manual. Incorrect adjustment and tuning of the chassis and
suspension can lead to damage and breakage of components.
Use of the chassis component under difficult conditions, such as on sand or on wet and muddy surfaces, can
lead to considerably more rapid wear. For this reason, it may be necessary to inspect or replace parts before
the next scheduled service.
It is imperative that you adhere to the stipulated service intervals. If you observe these exactly, you will ensure a
much longer service life for your chassis component.

9 TUNING THE CHASSIS
14
9.1 Checking the basic chassis setting with the rider's weight
401030-01
–For optimal motorcycle riding characteristics and to avoid
damage to forks, shock absorbers, link fork and frame, the
basic settings of the suspension components must match the
rider's weight.
–This chassis component is factory set to a standard rider's
weight.
Guideline
Standard rider weight 25 … 35 kg (55 … 77 lb.)
–If the rider's weight is above or below this range, the basic
setting of the suspension components must be adjusted
accordingly.
–Minor differences in the rider's weight can be compensated
for by modifying the spring preload.
–In case of larger differences, appropriate springs must be
fitted.
9.2 Checking the basic setting of the fork
Info
For various reasons, no exact riding sag can be determined for the fork.
401000-01
–As with the shock absorber, smaller differences in the rider's
weight can be compensated by the spring preload.
–However, if the fork frequently bottoms out (hard end stop on
compression), harder springs must be fitted to avoid damage
to the fork and frame.
–If the fork feels unusually hard after extended periods of
operation, the fork legs need to be bled.
9.3 Adjusting the compression damping of the fork
Info
The hydraulic compression damping determines the fork suspension behavior.
M01945-11
–Turn adjusting screw 1clockwise up to the last perceptible
click.
Info
Adjusting screw COMP 1is located at the upper
end of the left fork leg.
An adjustment tool is included in the scope of supply.
–Turn counterclockwise by the number of clicks correspond-
ing to the fork type.

Ring wrench (T1307)
Info
The ring wrench is included.
Make the same adjustment on both fork legs.
–Turn clockwise by the number of turns corresponding to the
fork type.
Guideline
Spring preload –preload adjuster
Standard 0 turns
The preload adjusters snap into place noticeably.
Info
One turn is equivalent to two clicks.
Adjust the spring preload only to the perceptible
clicks, as the preload will not engage between clicks.
Turn clockwise to increase the spring preload; turn
counterclockwise to reduce the spring preload.
Adjusting the spring preload has no influence on the
absorption setting of the rebound.
Basically, however, you should set the rebound damp-
ing higher with a higher spring preload.
