Adjusting the rear suspension spring
preload
The rear suspension spring preload can be
adjusted by turning the spring preload adjust-
ing ring on the shock absorber (RX10R /
RX10LT) or by turning the spring preload ad-
justing ring on the center shock absorber and
the spring preload adjuster on the rear shock
absorber (RX10RTR / RX10MT / RX10MTA).
