RIESE & MULLER load - Adjusting Spring Preload

30
ADJUSTING THE REAR SUSPENSION
• Pull the spring plate D and remove the
spring.
• Clean the threads and apply some grease.
• To reinstall the shock, repeat the process in
reverse order.
• Put the shock back in the frame and tighten
the screw connections (torque 7 – 9 Nm).
ADJUSTING SPRING PRELOAD
With spring preload, you set how far the
suspension sags when you sit on the bike.
Ideally it should be between 20 and 25 % of
the total travel.
Sag to great
The shock requires more preload. Turn the
adjustment ring A (see fig. at 27) page-
clockwise.
Sag to little
The spring needs less preload. Turn the
adjustment ring A counterclockwise or use a
softer spring.
The adjustment ring should not be
tightened more than three rotations.
If after three rotations, the preload is
still not enough, you require a stiffer
spring. For optimal suspension
convenience, the spring should
require as little preload as possible.
ATTENTION!
Ensure the adjustment ring is not too
loose. The spring on the unloaded
E-bike should not t loosely.
