Steering damper (fig. 16)
The steering damper is before the tank and is secured to
the frame and the steering head.
It gives improved steering accuracy and stability, thus
also improving motorcycle road behavior under any riding
conditions.
Turn the knob (1) clockwise for a harder setting (2),
counter clockwise for a softer setting (3).
A click identifies the different settings.
Warning
Never attempt to set knob (1) while riding, or you
may lose control of the motorcycle.
Important
In case the steering damper position is changed,
the steering damper must be adjusted (see page 44).
