[. . . ] This can cause the fork springs in the fork legs to have different degrees of pretension. Fork springs and pretension spacers should always stay together. for example 125/200 SX SPRING RATE 4, 4 N/mm 4, 2 N/mm 4, 0 N/mm 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 RIDERS WEIGHT INCLUSIVE GEARS IN KILOGRAM MODELL 1418Y743 125/200 SX 1418Y744 125/200 EXC 1418Y745 250 SX 1418Y746 250/300 MXC, EXC SOFTER STANDARD HARDER Replacing fork springs If you weigh less than 70 kg or more than 80 kg, you should install the respective fork springs. The correct spring rate is shown in the illustrations. The standard spring is shown in bold print. The type number of the telescopic fork is embossed on the caps on the top of the telescopic fork. If you are uncertain which spring to use, contact your KTM workshop. According to our experience, the damping rate of the compression stage can remain unchanged. The damping rate of the rebound stage can be reduced by a few clicks for a softer spring or increased by a few clicks for a harder spring. 4, 0 N/mm 3, 6 N/mm 4, 2 N/mm 3, 8 N/mm 4, 2 N/mm 4, 4 N/mm 4, 0 N/mm 4, 6 N/mm 4, 2 N/mm 3, 8 N/mm 4, 4 N/mm 4, 0 N/mm ENGLISH The precise riding sag of the telescopic fork cannot be determined for various reasons. Similar to the shock absorber, smaller deviations in your weight can be compensated by adjusting the spring preload. However, if your telescopic fork bumps frequently (hard end stop during compression), you should install harder fork springs to avoid damaging the telescopic fork and frame. Adjusting the spring preload on the fork (SX) The spring preload on the SX models can be adjusted (changed) by 10 mm by turning adjusting screw 1. Turning in a clockwise direction will increase the prestress, turning in a counterclockwise direction will decrease the prestress. Changing the spring preload will not affect the rebound damping adjustment. Generally, if the spring preload is higher, the rebound damping should also be set higher. STANDARD SETTING: Unscrew the adjusting screw to the limit and then back 2 turns. 1 ENGLISH 28 2 1 Changing the spring preloading of the shock absorber The spring preload can be changed by turning the adjusting ring 2. For this purpose, you should dismount the shock absorber and clean it thoroughly. NOTE: ­ Before changing the spring preload note down the basic setting, e. g. how many threads are visible above the adjusting ring. ­ One rotation of the adjusting ring 2 changes the spring pretension by approximately 1. 75 mm (0. 07 in). Loosen the clamping screw 3 and use the hook wrench contained in the vehicle tool set to turn the adjusting ring as desired. Turning it counterclockwise will reduce the preload, turning it clockwise will increase the preload. After readjusting the clamping screw 3, tighten it to 8 Nm (6 ft. lb) 3 A ADJUSTMENT VALUES - SPRING PRELOAD A minimum preload. 4 mm (0. 16 in) (125, 200), 5 mm (0. 20 in) (250, 300) maximum preload .
