Adjusting the Rear Suspension
Adjusting the suspension requires a pin
spanner. We recommend that you have your
motorcycle serviced by your dealer.
#
Spring Preload
You can adjust the spring preload by the
adjuster to suit the load or the road surface.
Turn the adjuster using a suitable pin
spanner and extension bar.
The preload adjuster has 9 positions. The
standard position is 4 when the index mark
on the adjuster is aligned with the left end of
the rear shock absorber lower mounting bolt.
Turn the adjuster in the direction A to
decrease spring preload (soft) (position 1 to
3), or turn the adjuster in the direction B to
increase spring preload (hard) (position 5 to
9).
NOTICE
Attempting to adjust directly from 1 to 9 or 9 to 1
may damage the shock absorber.
NOTICE
Do not turn the adjuster beyond its limits.
