Hold the motorcycle upright,
preferably with the assistance
of a second person (do not
prop the motorcycle on the
side stand).
Measure distance
D
between
bottom edge
1
of the slider
tube and front axle
2
.
Apply the rider's weight to the
motorcycle.
With the assistance of a
second person, measure
distance
D
between points
1
and
2
again and calculate the
difference (negative spring
displacement) between the two
readings.
Load-dependent adjust-
ment of spring preload
Negative spring displacement
of front wheel
6...10 mm (With rider 85 kg)
Your motorcycle's hand-
ling will suffer if you do not
match the spring-preload and
damping-characteristic settings.
Adjust damping to suit spring
preload.
To reduce negative spring dis-
placement (increase spring pre-
load, in other words), use the
tool from the on-board toolkit
to turn adjusting screws
1
in
direction
A
.
To increase negative spring
displacement (reduce spring
preload, in other words),
use the tool from the on-
board toolkit to turn adjusting
screws
1
in direction
B
.
Damping
Correct setting for the
damping characteristic
Damping must be adapted to suit
the surface on which the motor-
cycle is ridden and to suit spring
preload.
An uneven surface requires
softer damping than a smooth
surface.
An increase in spring preload
requires firmer damping, a re-
duction in spring preload re-
quires softer damping.
