style and the payload.

The recommendations for the suspension setting are shown in Table
1
. The table
is located on the underside of the front rider's seat.
These adjustments are guidelines and should always be the basis for a suspension setting.
If the guidelines are not adhered to, the riding characteristics could deteriorate, particularly
at high speeds.
