TIP
When turning the damping force ad-
juster in direction (b), it may turn be-
yond the stated specifications,
however such adjustments are ineffec-
tive and may damage the suspension.
Slow compression damping force
Turn the adjusting bolt in direction (a)
to increase the compression damping
force.
Turn the adjusting bolt in direction (b)
to decrease the compression damping
force.
To set the compression damping
force, turn the adjuster in direction (a)
until it stops, and then count the clicks
in direction (b).
TIP
When turning the damping force
adjuster in direction (a), the 0 click
position and the 1 click position
may be the same.
When turning the damping force
adjuster in direction (b), it may
click beyond the stated specifica-
tions, however such adjustments
are ineffective and may damage
the suspension.
YZF-R1M
This model is equipped with ÖHLINS
electronic racing suspension.
Compression damping force and re-
bound damping force
The compression and rebound damp-
ing forces are electronically controlled
and can be adjusted from the MENU
screen. See ERS on page 5-18 for in-
formation on how to adjust these set-
tings.
Spring preload
The spring preload adjustment is per-
formed manually.
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. Turn the adjusting nut in direction
(a) to increase the spring preload.
Turn the adjusting nut in direction
(b) to decrease the spring preload.
The spring preload setting is de-
termined by measuring distance
A. The longer distance A is, the
