Ride Quality Enhancement; Enhanced Steering Quickness - EBR 1190RS 2013 Owner's Manual

Ride Quality Enhancement

The stock settings are designed to offer sufficient chas-
sis control, but some may choose to enhance ride com-
fort over rougher road conditions or for long rides. Ad-
justing the compression setting will reduce both high
and low speed damping.
1. Adjust suspension for rider weight. See OPERA-
TION, Factory Suspension Settings.
2. Increase ride quality by reducing front and rear com-
pression damping by turning adjuster counterclock-
wise 1/4 - 1 turn.
3. If additional ride quality is desired, reduce front pre-
load by turning adjuster counterclockwise one turn.
4. If maximum ride quality is desired, decrease front
and rear rebound damping by turning adjusters
counterclockwise by 1/4 - 1/2 turn.

Enhanced Steering Quickness

The response to steering input (quickness) may be
enhanced by adjusting the vehicles front/rear ride
height. This adjustment effectively decreases the
vehicles rake angle. This is achieved by adjusting
the preload to increase front sag and reduce rear sag.
1. Adjust suspension for rider weight. See OPER-
ATION, Factory Suspension Settings.
2. Reduce steering effort by increasing the rear
preload one position.
3. If more enhanced steering and cornering control
is desired, reduce front preload by turning ad-
juster counterclockwise one turn.
4. If additional enhanced steering and cornering
control is desired, increase rear compression
damping by turning adjuster clockwise by 1/4-
1/2 turn.
5. If maximum enhanced steering and cornering
control is desired, increase front rebound damp-
ing by turning adjuster clockwise 1/4 turn.
