SUSPENSION
ADJUSTMENT
Adjust front forks by first turning the slotted dial clockwise with
a screwdriver until it stops. Then turn the dial counterclock-
wise the recommended 12 or 20 positions. A higher number
of clicks increases damping.
NOTE
Rear spring preload must be set before adjusting any other
suspension settings. See REAR PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT
on page 1-23.
REAR SHOCK
Check rear shock:
● At the 500 mile (800 km) service interval.
● At every 5000 mile (8000 km) service interval thereafter.
Inspect the rear shock absorber for loose mounting hardware,
leaks or rod-to-spring contact. Tighten the front and rear
mounts 40-45 ft-lbs (54.2-61.0 Nm).
