To increase the compression damping force,
turn the adjusting knob in direction (a). To de-
crease the compression damping force, turn
the adjusting knob in direction (b).
Rebound damping force
The rebound damping force of each shock
absorber can be adjusted by turning its re-
bound damping force adjusting knob.
To increase the rebound damping force, turn
the adjusting knob in direction (a). To de-
crease the rebound damping force, turn the
adjusting knob in direction (b).
TIP
The damping forces will not decrease past the
minimum levels even if the adjusting knobs
are turned out more than the minimum set-
tings.

Adjusting the spring preload of the
center shock absorber and the rear
torsion springs (RST90 / RST90GT)
The spring preload can be adjusted by turning
the adjusting nut on the center shock absorb-
er and the adjusters on the rear torsion
springs. Adjust the spring preload as follows.
Center shock absorber
