To adjust the rebound damping force, turn the rebound
damping adjuster [A] until you feel a click.
The standard adjuster setting is the 2 turns out from the
fully clockwise position.
WARNING
If both adjusters are not adjusted equally, handling
may be impaired and a hazardous condition may
result. Be sure the adjusters are set equally.
The damping force can be left soft for average riding. But
it should be adjusted harder for high speed riding or riding
with a passenger. If the damping feels too soft or too stiff,
adjust it in accordance with the following table.
