Adjustment on rear wheel
The damping must be adjust-
ed to the spring preload and the
road conditions.
An increase in spring preload re-
quires firmer damping, a reduc-
tion in spring preload requires
softer damping.
The stiffer the damping, the
greater the compensating
movement of the spring strut
is damped when riding on
rough road surfaces. When soft
damping is set, the spring strut
reacts correspondingly faster to
rough roads.
Adjusting damping on rear
wheel
Make sure ground is level and
firm and park motorcycle.
