2. Use of stiff spring
Generally a stiff spring gives a stiff riding
feeling. Rebound damping tends to become
weaker, resulting in lack of a sense of con-
tact with the road surface or in a vibrating
handlebar.
To set a stiff spring:
9
Change the rebound damping.
Turn in one or two clicks.
9
Change the compression damping.
Turn out one or two clicks.
