DAMPING

Setting
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
reduction in spring preload
requires softer damping.
Adjusting the compression
damping on the front wheel
without Dynamic Damping
Control (DDC)
Adjust compression damping
using adjustment screw 1 and
yellow scale on left-hand fork
leg.
