Damping
Setting
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 re-
duction in spring preload re-
quires softer damping.
Adjust damping on rear
wheel
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
