SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT
The standard settings for both the
front and rear suspensions are
selected to meet various riding condi-
tions such as low to high motorcycle
speed and light to heavy load on the
motorcycle. The suspension settings
can be adjusted and fine-tuned
according to your preference.
FRONT SUSPENSION
Spring Pre-load Adjustment
To change the spring pre-load, turn
the adjuster 1 clockwise or counter-
clockwise. Turning the adjuster clock-
wise will increase the spring pre-load.
Turning the adjuster counterclockwise
will decrease the spring pre-load.
There are 5 grooved lines on the side
of the adjuster 1 for reference. Posi-
tion 1 provides the minimum spring
pre-load and position 5 provides the
maximum pre-load. This motorcycle is
delivered from the factory with its
adjuster set on position 2.5.
NOTICE
Turning adjusters by force can
damage the suspensions.
Do not turn adjusters beyond their
natural limits.
