Attention
Use a specific pin wrench to turn the preload
adjusting nut. Be careful when turning the nut with
the wrench, as the pin may slip out of the ring nut
recess and you may hurt your hand hitting motorcycle
parts.
Attention
The shock absorber is filled with gas under
pressure and may cause severe damage if taken apart
by someone who is unskilled.
If you intend to transport a passenger and baggage,
preload the shock absorber spring to the maximum
to improve the dynamic performance of the
motorcycle and to avoid possible interference with
ground. You may find that rebound damping needs
adjusting as well. The shock absorber is adjusted by
electric impulses sent by the instrument panel to the
adjusters inside the shock absorber body.
