Allow the silencer to cool.Adjust spring preload by turn-
ing knob 1.
If you want to increase spring
preload, turn the knob toward
HARD.
If you want to reduce spring
preload, turn the knob toward
SOFT.
Basic setting of spring
preload, rear
Turn the knob as far as it
will go in the "SOFT" direc-
tion and then turn it 10 full
turns in the "HARD" direc-
tion. (Full load of fuel, with
rider 85 kg)
DampingAdjustment for front
suspensionYou can fine-tune the suspension
to the road surface by adjusting
both the compression-stage and
rebound-stage damping charac-
teristics of the telescopic forks.
The rebound-stage setting con-
trols the way the suspension re-
acts as it extends, whereas the
compression-stage setting influ-
ences compression of the front
forks under load.
The harder the setting, the more
the movement that the forks can
make to absorb surface irreg-
ularities is damped. When you
choose a soft setting the forks
respond all the more rapidly to
surface irregularities.
Adjusting rebound stage
for front wheelMake sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
You adjust the rebound-stage
characteristic by turning adjust-
ing screw 1.

If you want harder damping,
use a screwdriver to turn the
adjusting screw in the+direc-
tion.
If you want softer damping, use
a screwdriver to turn the ad-
justing screw in the - direction.
Rebound stage, basic
setting, front
Turn adjusting screw as far
as it will go in the "+" dir-
ection, then back it off 11
clicks in the "-" direction.
Adjusting compression
stage for front wheelAdjust the compression stage
by turning adjusting screw 1.
If you want harder damping,
use a screwdriver to turn the adjusting screw in the

If you want softer damping, use

Adjustment for rear
suspensionDamping must be adapted to suit
spring preload and the surface on
which the motorcycle is ridden.
An increase in spring preload re-
quires firmer damping, a reduc-
tion in spring preload requires
softer damping.
The harder the setting, the more
the movement that the spring
strut can make to absorb sur-
face irregularities is damped.
