Chassis Control/Handling Enhancement
To provide more road surface feedback on smoother
road conditions, increase compression and rebound
settings.
1. Adjust suspension for rider weight. See OPERA-
TION, Factory Suspension Settings.
2. Increase chassis/handling control by increasing
front and rear compression damping by turning
adjuster clockwise by 1/2-1 1/2 turns.
3. If maximum chassis control/handling control is
desired, increase front and rear rebound damping
Cold Weather Riding Less than 65°F
(18 °C)
The viscosity (resistance to flow) of the suspension
fluid increases as the temperature decreases. As the
fluid viscosity increases, so does the damping. It is
recommended to compensate for the varying fluid vis-
cosity by readjusting the damping adjuster positions
when operating outside the normal ambient tempera-
ture range of 65-95° F ( 18-35° C).

1. Adjust suspension for rider weight. See OPERA-
TION, Factory Suspension Settings.
2. Reduce front and rear compression damping and re-
bound damping by turning adjuster counterclockwise.
Do not operate motorcycle with loose, worn or dam-
aged steering or suspension systems. Contact an
EBR Dealer for repairs. Loose, worn or damaged
steering or suspension components can adversely
affect stability and handling, which could result in
death or serious injury.
Make all suspension adjustments in small increments.
Radical setting changes may cause you to skip the best
adjustment, but always remember that any setting cho-
sen is a compromise.
Refer to Table 18. Possible suspension and operating
characteristics and their probable causes are listed. This
table is helpful in keeping your motorcycle in good op-
erating condition.
