Adjusting the shock absorber
assembly
This shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing nut and a rebound damping force
adjusting knob.
CAUTION:

Never attempt to turn an adjusting
mechanism beyond the maximum or
minimum settings.
Spring preload
1.
Loosen the locknut.
2.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension,
turn the adjusting nut in direction
(a). To decrease the spring pre-
load and thereby soften the sus-
pension, turn the adjusting nut in
direction (b).
NOTE:
●
Use the special wrench included in
the owner’s tool kit to make the ad-
justment.
●
The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A,
shown in the illustration. The long-
er distance A is, the lower the
spring preload; the shorter dis-
tance A is, the higher the spring
