Steering damper
601398-01
The steering damper suppresses shocks to the steering arising from acceleration on
uneven ground at high speed or when the load is temporarily taken from the front
wheel.
The steering damper is adjusted to suit the riding style and the road conditions. For
high speeds, a setting with high damping can be chosen to make the best possible use
of the steering damper function. In slow, tight bends, intensive damping can negatively
affect handling and steering precision, so the damping should be set to low.

Adjusting the steering damper
Info
The hydraulic steering damper stabilizes the steering if the front wheel is raised off the ground or carries no load.
In contrast to other damping elements, the steering damper is adjusted with the damping element open.
