settings for on-road or off-road

In order for you to adapt the mo-
torcycle's handling to suit load
and the surface on which you will
be riding, three spring-preload
stages can be combined with any
of three damping characterist-
ics for road riding, and in offroad
mode you have a choice of two
spring-preload stages that can
be combined with any of three
damping-characteristic settings.
