Damping
Adapting to road
condition
Damping must be adjusted to the
road conditions and the spring
preload.
A rough road surface requires
softer damping than a smooth
road surface.
An increase in spring preload
requires firmer damping, a re-
duction in spring preload re-
quires softer damping.
Adjusting damping on rear
wheel
Park motorcycle, ensuring that
support surface is firm and
level.

justment screw 1 clockwise.
