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.
Work on the left-hand side of
the vehicle when adjusting the
damping.
If you want to increase damp-
ing, turn adjusting screw 1
clockwise.
If you want to reduce damping,
turn adjusting screw 1 counter-
clockwise.
