ESU13134 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): FX10 92.6 mm (3.65 in) FX10RTRS 75.4 mm (2.97 in) FX10XT 106.1 mm (4.18 in) Standard: FX10 101.6 mm (4.00 in) FX10RTRS 84.4 mm (3.32 in) FX10XT 122.1 mm (4.81 in) Maximum (hard): FX10 108.6 mm (4.28 in) FX10RTRS 91.4 mm (3.60 in) FX10XT 132.1 mm (5.20 in) * Distance A changes 1.5 mm (0.06 in) with each full turn of the adjusting nut. 3. Tighten the locknut to the specified torque. NOTICE: Always tighten the locknut against the adjusting nut, and then tighten the locknut to the specified torque. [ECS00860] Tightening torque: Locknut: 42 Nm (4.2 m·kgf, 30 ft·lbf) Adjusting the spring preload of the center shock absorber and the rear torsion springs (FX10/FX10RTRS/FX10XT) The spring preload can be adjusted by turning the adjusting nut on the center shock absorber and the adjusters on the rear torsion springs. Adjust the spring preload as follows. Center shock absorber 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 preload and thereby soften the suspension, turn the adjusting nut in direction (b). 28
