5. Bediening en afstelling

The STX36 shock absorber offers adjustability to fine-tune your scooter's handling characteristics. Always make adjustments in small increments and test the changes in a safe environment.

• Veervoorspanning: Adjusting the spring preload changes the initial compression of the spring, affecting ride height and sag. Use the provided tool to turn the preload adjusters. Increase preload for a firmer ride or to compensate for heavier loads.
• Terugslag Damping (if equipped): Terugslag damping controls the speed at which the shock extends after compression. Adjustments are typically made via a clicker knob at the bottom of the shock. Turn clockwise for slower rebound, counter-clockwise for faster rebound.
• Compressie Damping (if equipped): Compressie damping controls the speed at which the shock compresses. Adjustments are typically made via a clicker knob on the reservoir or body. Turn clockwise for firmer compression, counter-clockwise for softer compression.

Consult an Ohlins authorized service center or a suspension specialist for personalized setup advice.
