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 damping for
rear wheel
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
There is a risk of injury
by burns if you adjust the
damping characteristic while the
silencer is hot.
Use a screwdriver extension and
wear protective gloves.
Adjust the damping character-
istic, using the tool from the
on-board toolkit to turn adjust-
ing screw 1.
If you want a harder damping
characteristic, turn adjusting
screw 1 in the direction indic-
ated by the H arrow.
If you want a softer damping
characteristic, turn adjusting
screw 1 in the direction indic-
ated by the S arrow.
