Operation

Harder damping:

• Turn adjusting screw 1 in the

direction indicated by the H

arrow.

Softer damping:

• Turn adjusting screw 1 in the

direction indicated by the S

arrow.

Basic setting for one-up riding:

• Turn adjusting screw 1 all

the way in the direction indi-

cated by the H arrow.

• Turn the adjusting screw 1

one turn in the direction of

the arrow S.

This is the basic setting

for a motorcycle carrying

a full load of fuel and a rider

weighing 187 lbs (85 kg).c

Your motorcycle's han-

dling will suffer if you do

not match the spring-preload

and damping-characteristic

settings.

Adjust the damping character-

istic to suit spring preload.c

Wheels

Checking tire pressures

Incorrect tire pressures

adversely affect the han-

dling of the motorcycle and

can lead to accidents.

Always keep the tires inflated

to the specified pressures.c

Incorrect tire pressures

result in accelerated tire

wear.

Always keep the tires inflated

to the specified pressures.c

The correct tire pressures

(measured with tires cold) are:

One-up:

– front 31.9 psi (2.2 bar)

– rear 36.3 psi (2.5 bar)

One-up with luggage:

– front 36.3 psi (2.5 bar)

– rear 42 psi (2.9 bar)

Two-up (with luggage):

– front 36.3 psi (2.5 bar)

– rear 42 psi (2.9 bar)

At high road speeds, tire

valves have a tendency

to open as a result of centrifu-

gal force.

Fit metal valve caps with rub-

ber seals and screw them on

firmly to prevent sudden defla-

tion.c
