Spring preload
The spring preload on the
rear wheel must be adapted
to the load of the motorcy-
cle. Increase spring preload
when the motorcycle is heav-
ily loaded and reduce spring
preload accordingly when the
motorcycle is lightly loaded.
Damping
The damping must be adjust-
ed to the spring preload and
the road conditions. An in-
crease in spring preload re-
quires firmer damping, a re-
duction in spring preload re-
quires softer damping.

Adjusting the spring
preload while the
motorcycle is being ridden
can lead to accidents.
Adjust the spring preload on-
ly when the motorcycle is
stationary.
Make sure ground is level
and firm and park the mo-
torcycle.
