Adjusting spring preload for
rear wheel
with Dynamic Damping Con-
trol (DDC) OE
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Use the engine lifter to raise
the vehicle until the weight is
completely off the rear wheel.
Switch on the ignition.
Start the engine to avoid dis-
charging the battery.
Adjustments to the DDC
system are possible only
with the ignition switched on,
because only then are the elec-
tric valves active.
