Each EBR motorcycle uses suspension components designed
for the vehicle’s weight and function. On all models, the front
and rear preload setting need to be adjusted for the rider’s
weight and cargo. This adjustment should be made before the
motorcycle is ridden any distance. Your EBR dealer can assist
you in setting the preload when you take delivery of your
motorcycle. If the preload adjustment is correct and you have
the rebound and compression damping set at the factory
recommendations, the motorcycle should handle and ride
properly. Damping is set at the factory for the average solo
rider under normal riding conditions. The rider may make
adjustments to compensate for individual riding styles and
varying road conditions. Evaluating and changing the rebound
and compression damping is a very subjective process with
many variables and should be approached carefully. See table
17.
Compression and rebound adjusting valves may be damaged
if too much force is used to turn the adjustor screws. Damage
can occur if excess force is applied in either a clockwise or
counterclockwise direction beyond the normal stopping point.
