EBR Suspension Setup Troublshooting

Symptoms	Solutions
Front end "knifes" or oversteers in turns (front end will turn inward). This is caused by soft forks.	Increase compression damping Raise fork oil level Install stiffer springs Slide the fork tubes down 3mm in the triple clamps
Front forks stiffen up too much at the end of the stroke.	Reduce the fork oil level
Forks overall feel is too stiff.	Decrease compression damping Lower fork oil level Re-valve front forks Install softer fork springs
Forks dive excessively during braking.	Increase compression damping Raise fork oil level Install stiffer springs Re-valve front forks
Front pushes or washes out in turns. This is caused by stiff forks.	Release built up air in the forks Decrease compression damping Slide forks tubes up 5 mm Lower fork oil level Install softer springs
Front end searches while going down hill or during acceleration out of corners. This is caused by soft forks.	Increase compression damping Raise the fork oil height Increase fork spring preload Re-valve forks Install heavier springs
Front forks do not respond to small bumps in sweeping turns. They may hop over the small bumps. This is caused by stiff forks.	Decrease compression damping Decrease for oil level Re-valve front forks Install softer fork springs
Front end shakes under braking.	Decrease shock sag Increase shock rebound Increase fork compression Raise fork oil level Tighten headset

Soft, sandy tracks Increase LSC 2 clicks

(big, rolling bumps) Slow down Rebound 2 clicks

Dry, hard pack tracks Decrease LSC 2 clicks

(small, choppy, square-edged bumps) Speed up Rebound 2 clicks

Symptoms	Solutions
Rear shock bounces over bumps while accelerating, will not hook up. Lack of traction due to a stiff shock.	Decrease shock spring preload Decrease shock compression damping Install softer spring
Rear shock kicks up during braking.	Increase shock rebound damping Soften high speed compression
Rear shock feels soft on large bumps or jumps.	Increase shock compression damping Decrease race sag Shock made need re-valving Install stiffer spring
Rear shock feels too hard over jumps, large bumps, or a series of small bumps.	Decrease shock compression damping Increase sag Shock may need re-valving Install softer spring
