Operação e ajuste

The Ohlins SD 001 Steering Damper features a base damping system with 18 adjustable settings (clicks) for fine-tuning. These adjustments allow you to customize the damping force to suit various riding conditions and personal preferences.

1. Locate the Adjustment Knob: The adjustment knob is typically located at one end of the damper body, often with clear markings for clicks.
2. Ajustar Damping: Turn the knob clockwise to increase damping force (stiffer steering response) and counter-clockwise to decrease damping force (lighter steering response). Each click represents a distinct adjustment step.
3. Test and Refine: After making an adjustment, test the motorcycle's steering response in a safe, controlled environment. Start with a lighter setting and gradually increase damping until the desired stability is achieved without making the steering feel heavy or unnatural.

Dica: For track use or aggressive riding, a higher damping setting may be preferred to counteract rapid steering movements. For street riding, a lighter setting might be more comfortable.
