DAMPING
without Dynamic ESA
OE
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
reduction in spring preload
requires softer damping.
Adjusting damping at the rear
wheel
Park the motorcycle, making
sure that the ground is firm
and level.
Adjust damping from the left
side of the vehicle.

adjusting screw 1 clockwise.

adjusting screw 1 counter-
