Tighten the locknut to the specified
torque.
NOTICE:
Always tighten the
locknut against the adjusting nut, and
then tighten the locknut to the speci-
fied torque.

Rear torsion springs
WARNING
EWS00750
The left and right spring preloads must be
adjusted to the same setting. Uneven set-
tings can cause poor handling and loss of
stability.
To increase the spring preload and thereby
harden the suspension, turn the adjuster in di-
rection (a). To decrease the spring preload
and thereby soften the suspension, turn the
adjuster in direction (b).
ESU13440
Adjusting the damping forces of the
center and rear shock absorbers
(FX10RTRS), or damping force of the
rear shock absorber (FX10XT)
NOTICE
ECS00881
Do not continue to turn the adjuster in
direction (a) after it stops. The shock ab-
sorber could be damaged and damping
force adjustments will not be able to be
made.
Do not turn the adjuster in direction (b)
beyond the adjustable range. Even if the
adjuster is continually turned beyond
the adjustable range, there will be no
change in the damping force.
FX10RTRS
The compression and rebound damping forc-
es can be adjusted by turning the adjusting
bolt, dial, knob, or screw.
