Damping is set with the knobs, that have a normal right hand thread. By turning them clockwise the damping action is increased, and by turning them counter clockwise it is reduced. The knobs have definite positions with noticeable "clicks", making it easy to count to the right setting.
Rebound damping action affects the charesteristics of the motorcycle most. The setting knob is located at the bottom on the piston rod. It can be adjusted in about 40 steps.
