Damping
Adjustment for front
suspension
You can fine-tune the suspension
to the road surface by adjusting
both the compression-stage and
rebound-stage damping charac-
teristics of the telescopic forks.
The rebound-stage setting con-
trols the way the suspension re-
acts as it extends, whereas the
compression-stage setting influ-
ences compression of the front
forks under load.
The harder the setting, the more
the movement that the forks can
make to absorb surface irreg-
ularities is damped. When you
choose a soft setting the forks
respond all the more rapidly to
surface irregularities.

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