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.

If you want to increase damp-

ing, turn adjusting screw 1

clockwise.

If you want to reduce damping,

turn adjusting screw 1 counter-

clockwise.

Basic setting of rear-sus-

pension damping charac-

teristic

Turn adjusting screw as far

as it will go clockwise, then

back it off 3/4 turns. (full

Tyres

Checking tyre pressure

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 installed perpen-

dicular to the wheel rim have a

tendency to open as a result of

centrifugal force.

In order to avoid sudden defla-

tion, fit valves installed perpen-

dicular to the rim with valve caps

complete with rubber seals and

make sure the valve caps are

screwed firmly on to the valves.

Make sure the ground is level

and firm and place the motor-

cycle on its stand.
