TIP
Although the total number of clicks
of a damping force adjusting
mechanism may not exactly match
the above specifications due to
small differences in production, the
actual number of clicks always
represents the entire adjusting
range. To obtain a precise adjust-
ment, check the number of clicks
and modify the minimum and stan-
dard specifications as necessary.
When turning the damping force
adjusting bolt in direction (a), the 0
click position and the 1 click posi-
tion may be the same.
For YZF-R1M
This model is is equipped with ÖHLINS
electronic racing suspension.
The compression and rebound damp-
ing forces are electronically adjusted.
(See ERS on page 4-19.)
Spring preload
The spring preload adjustment is per-
formed manually.
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Slide the rubber cover back at
each coupler.
3. Remove the coupler on each front
fork.
NOTICE:
To prevent dam-
aging the couplers, do not use
sharp tools or excessive
force.
[ECA22770]
4. To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension,
turn the adjusting bolt on each fork
leg in direction (a). To decrease
the spring preload and thereby
soften the suspension, turn the ad-
justing bolt on each fork leg in di-
rection (b).
5. Attach the coupler on each fork.
6. Slide the rubber cover to the origi-
nal position.
