Spring preload
Adjusting spring preload
d Warning:
If the suspension of your mo-
torcycle has been lowered,
the reduction in ground clear-
ance reduces the maximum
possible angle of lean for cor-
nering.
Lowering the suspension re-
duces spring travel. This might
result in a less comfortable
ride. Consequently, before
setting off you should always
adjust suspension travel and
damping to suit load (
b 38, 39)
as accurately as possible. Soft setting
(for light rider):
Turn knob 1 as far as it will go
counter-clockwise in the
direction indicated by the
" LOW " arrow
Basic setting (one-up):
From the soft setting, turn
knob 1 five clicks clockwise in
the direction indicated by the
" HIGH " arrow [Dakar: twenty
clicks]
Firm setting:
Turn knob 1 clockwise in the
direction indicated by the
" HIGH " arrow
