Damping
Damping
Damping must be adapted to
suit spring preload. An increase
in spring preload requires firmer
damping, a reduction in spring
preload requires softer damping.
Adjusting damping for
rear wheel
You adjust the damping char-
acteristic by turning adjusting
screw 1.
If you want to increase damp-
ing, turn adjusting screw 1
clockwise.
If you want to reduce damping,
turn adjusting screw 1 counter-
clockwise.

Turn adjusting screw as far
as it will go clockwise, then
back it off 1 1/2 turns. (Full

Tyres
Checking tyre pressure
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Incorrect tyre pressures im-
pair the motorcycle's hand-
ling characteristics and increase
the rate of tyre wear.
Always check that the tyre pres-
sures are correct.
At high road speeds, tyre
valves have a tendency to
open as a result of centrifugal
force.
Fit metal valve caps with rubber
seals and screw them on firmly
to prevent sudden deflation.
Check tyre pressures against
the data below.
