Damping

Setting
Damping must be adapted to suit
the surface on which the motor-
cycle is ridden and to suit spring
preload.
An uneven surface requires
softer damping than a smooth
surface.
An increase in spring preload
requires firmer damping, a re-
duction in spring preload re-
quires softer damping.
Adjust the damping for
rear wheel
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
If you want a harder damping
characteristic, use the tool from
the on-board toolkit to turn ad-
justing screw 1 in the direction
indicated by the H arrow.
If you want a softer damping
characteristic, use the tool from
the on-board toolkit to turn ad-
justing screw 1 in the direction
indicated by the S arrow.
