Adjustment for rear
suspension
Damping must be adapted to suit
spring preload and the surface on
which the motorcycle is ridden.
An increase in spring preload re-
quires firmer damping, a reduc-
tion in spring preload requires
softer damping.
The harder the setting, the more
the movement that the spring
strut can make to absorb sur-
face irregularities is damped.
