Damping
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 re-
duction in spring preload re-
quires softer damping.
Adjusting damping on rear
wheel
Park the motorcycle, ensuring
that the support surface is firm
and level.
Adjust damping from the left
side of the vehicle.
To increase damping, turn ad-
justment screw
1
clockwise.
To decrease damping, turn ad-
justment screw
1
counterclock-
wise.
