ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment
Damping must be adapted to
suit the condition of the sur-
face on which the motorcycle
is ridden and to suit spring pre-
load.
An uneven surface requires
softer damping than a smooth
surface.
An increase in spring preload
requires firmer damping, a
reduction in spring preload
requires softer damping.
