ADJUSTMENT
DAMPING
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.
Adjusting compression-stage
damping for front wheel
Adjust compression-stage
damping by turning adjust-
ing screw
1
on the left fork
leg.
To increase damping: Use the
tool from the on-board toolkit
to turn the adjusting screw so
that mark
1
points to a higher
value on the scale.
To reduce damping: Use the
tool from the on-board toolkit
to turn the adjusting screw so
that mark
1
points to a lower
value on the scale.
