Ohlins FG 470 - Manual (Page 4)

Adjusters
Your Öhlins super bike front fork is pro-
vided with the following external adjusters:
• Spring pre-load adjuster
• Rebound damping adjuster.
• Two type of compression
damping adjuster:
- Reservoir valve adjuster in the
lower part of the fork leg.
- Main valve bleed circuit.
NOTE!
The rebound damping adjuster is located at
the top of the right hand fork leg. The Main
valve bleed circuit (compression adjuster) is
located at the top of the left hand fork leg.
Spring pre-load adjustment
Use a 17-mm wrench to turn the upper
adjustment screw. The adjustment range
is 0-18mm. On the adjustment screw one
turn will change 1mm in spring pre-load.
Recommended static sag is 25-30 mm.
Compression adjustment main valve.
Adjust the compression damping on the
adjustment screw positioned at the top of
the left hand fork leg. Use a hex key with
spherical head (use tool 794-01).
Adjustment range from closed valve
(clockwise) to maximum open valve
(counter clockwise) is 20 “clicks”. Recom-
mended adjustment “click”, from closed
position: See specification card.
Rebound adjustment
Adjust the rebound damping on the adjust-
ment screw positioned at the top centre of
the right hand fork leg. Use a hex key with
a spherical head (use tool 794-01).
Adjustment range from closed valve (clock-
wise) until maximum open valve (counter
clockwise) is 20 “clicks”. Recommended
adjustment “click”, from closed position:
See specification card.
Compression adjustment reservoir valve
(Base valve)
Adjust the compression damping (shaft
displacement) on the lower part of the fork
legs. Use a normal screwdriver. Adjustment
range from closed valve (clockwise) to
maximum open valve (counter clockwise)
is 20 “clicks”. Recommended adjustment
“clicks”, from closed position:
See specification card.
