To adjust the compression damping
setting:

adjuster clockwise to increase (H =

Bank Angle Indicators
Warning
Always replace the bank angle
indicators before they are worn to
their maximum limit.
Use of a motorcycle with bank angle
indicators worn beyond the maximum
limit will allow the motorcycle to be
banked to an unsafe angle.
Banking to an unsafe angle may cause
instability, loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Bank angle indicators are located on the
rider’s footrests.

indicators for wear.
