Compression Damping Force Adjustment (Right
Side Only)
•
To adjust the compression damping force, turn the com-
pression damping adjuster [A] until you feel a click.
○
The standard adjuster setting is the 1 1/4 turns out from
the fully clockwise position.
If both adjusters are not adjusted equally, handling
may be impaired and a hazardous condition may
result. Be sure the adjusters are set equally.
○
The damping force can be left soft for average riding. But
it should be adjusted harder for high speed riding or riding
with a passenger. If the damping feels too soft or too stiff,
adjust it in accordance with the following table.
