[ECS00860] Tightening torque: Locknut: 42 Nm (4.2 m·kgf, 30 ft·lbf) ESU10924 (b) 1. Locknut 2. Distance A 3. Spring preload adjusting nut Adjusting the damping forces of the front shock absorbers (RS90GT / RS90LTGT) EWS00740 1. 2. Loosen the locknut. To increase the spring preload and thereby harden the suspension, turn the adjusting nut in direction (a). To decrease the spring preload and thereby soften the suspension, turn the adjusting nut in direction (b). WARNING The damping forces of the left and right shock absorbers must be adjusted to the same settings. Uneven settings can cause poor handling and loss of stability. Compression damping force The compression damping force of each shock absorber can be adjusted by turning its compression damping force adjusting knob. To increase the compression damping force, turn the adjusting knob in direction (a). To decrease the compression damping force, turn the adjusting knob in direction (b). TIP The spring preload setting is determined by measuring distance A, shown in the illustration. The longer distance A is, the higher the spring preload; the shorter distance A is, the lower the spring preload. Spring preload setting*: Minimum (soft): RS90R / RS90LT 161.0 mm (6.34 in) RS90GT / RS90LTGT 119.0 mm (4.69 in) Standard: RS90R / RS90LT 162.0 mm (6.38 in) RS90GT / RS90LTGT 119.0 mm (4.69 in) Maximum (hard): RS90R / RS90LT 172.0 mm (6.77 in) RS90GT / RS90LTGT 129.0 mm (5.08 in) * Distance A changes 1.5 mm (0.06 in) with each full turn of the adjusting nut. 1.
