Adjust the damping character-
istic to suit spring preload.
Damping
Setting
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.
Adjusting front rebound

Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.

If you want to increase damp-
ing, use a screwdriver to turn

If you want to reduce damping,
use a screwdriver to turn the
adjusting screws on left and
right in the - direction.
