HPSD CHARACTERISTICS
• The required steer
ing
torque
when
turning
the
handlebar
fully
(within

than

•
When
the
steer
ing
is in
the
neutral position, HPSD generates
no
dampi
ng for
ce
and
has
no
effect
on
steer
ing
torque.
• The steering torque differs between the extension and compression of the damper rod.
• The required damping force
is
controlled w hen the damper piston travels across the groove
in
the
damper
case.
• The required steering
torque
differs
between
high
