When you choose a soft setting
the spring strut responds all the
more rapidly to surface irregularit-
ies.
Adjusting damping for

Checking tyre pressures

Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Incorrect tyre pressures im-
pair the motorcycle's hand-
ling characteristics and increase
the rate of tyre wear.
Always check that the tyre pres-
sures are correct.
At high road speeds, tyre
valves have a tendency to
open as a result of centrifugal
force.
Fit metal valve caps with rubber
seals and screw them on firmly
to prevent sudden deflation.
Check tyre pressures against
the data below.
