Damping

without Dynamic ESA
Setting
The damping must be adjusted
to the road conditions and the
spring preload.
A rough road surface requires
softer damping than a smooth
road surface.
An increase in spring preload
requires firmer damping, a re-
duction in spring preload re-
quires softer damping.
Adjusting damping on rear
wheel
Park motorcycle, ensuring that
support surface is firm and
level.
Adjust damping from the left
side of the vehicle.
