REAR SHOCK ABSORBER 2.22
GENERAL
The rear suspension is controlled by the shock absorber. The
shock allows adjustment of rear compression and rebound
damping and spring preload.
The most important rear shock adjustment is the preload set-
ting. Before making any damping adjustments, set the proper
preload. See 1.11 SUSPENSION DAMPING ADJUST-
MENTS.
