Shaft jet valve and Spring set-up
Spring set-up
A number of springs are available for
both gravel and Tarmac to suit all different
conditions. For rougher gravel conditions
it is recommended to use one step stiffer
springs but also increase ride height
10-20 mm depending on the conditions.
It usually gives a better result than to use
an even stiffer spring and less ride height
change.
For very rough conditions like Middle
East rallies even stiffer springs is
recommended.
To get support, to fi nd your own
optimal set-up, contact your local Öhlins
Service Centre. Öhlins also have got a
wide assortment of springs. For specifi c
springs to your vehicle please see list in
the Öhlins mounting instruction.
Shaft jet valve
On the TTX the fading compensation
system is located in the piston shaft.
This system is based on a valve that
compensates for the viscosity changes
of the fl uid caused by changes in the
temperature.
The Shaft jet valve adjuster is set at an
ideal position (18 clicks) from the factory.
However, if the limit of the rebound
adjuster has reached its minimum or
maximum recommended position, is
there a possibility to compensate this by
either open or close the shaft valve and
then go back on the rebound adjuster.
This adjuster is very sensitive and
should not be turned more than 1- 2
clicks without consulting an Öhlins
service center. The reset procedure
for this adjuster is the same as for the
compression and rebound adjusters.
