12.1 Fork/shock absorber
F03292-10
The fork and the shock absorber offer many options of adapting
the suspension to the riding style and the payload.
Info
The recommendations for the suspension setting are shown
in table
1
. The table is located under the seat on the air
filter box.
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.
