Turn clockwise to increase the spring preload; turn counterclockwise to reduce
the spring preload.
Adjusting the spring preload has no effect on the rebound damping setting.
Generally, however, greater spring preload should be accompanied by a higher
rebound damping setting.
9.9
Compression damping of the shock absorber
The shock absorber can regulate compression damping separately in the low and high speed ranges (Dual Compression Control).
The terms low speed and high speed refer to the movement of the shock absorber during compression and not the riding speed of the
motorcycle.
Changes in the settings in the low-speed range have an impact on the high-speed range and vice versa.
