How to change the handlebar position (Super Duke R)
The upper triple clamp includes 2 bores arranged at a distance of 15 mm (0.6 in) from one
another. Accordingly, you can mount the handlebar in 2 different positions.
The steering angle is reduced if the handlebar is mounted in the rear position.
Adjust the steering lock so it does not hit the fuel tank.
Adjusting the steering damper (Super Duke R)
The steering damper stabilizes the steering whenever the front wheel is relieved or off the
ground. The damping degree can be adjusted to harder (+) or softer (-) damping by turning
the adjusting knob [1].
BASIC SETTING
– Turn the adjusting knob all the way to the stop in a clockwise direction
– Turn 20 clicks in a counterclockwise direction
Only change the setting by 3 clicks at a time and take a test ride.
– Always check the steering for smooth operation before starting off on a ride.
– Do not try to adjust the steering damper while driving. Your attention will be distracted
from the traffic and this may cause you to lose control of your motorcycle.
