Damping action during compression of shock absorber

The shock absorber's damping action during compression travel (compression
damping) can be adjusted. This allows you adjust the shock absorber's damp-
ing behavior to match your driving style and the payload.
The damping rate can be adjusted in the low and high-speed range (Dual
2
Compression Control). The designation low and high-speed refers to the move-
ment of the shock absorber and not to the motorcycle's driving speed.
