Rear Suspension
Note:
• Street Twin, Thruxton and
Bonneville T120 suspension settings
are spring preload adjustable only.
• Thruxton R suspension has three
different rear adjustment settings;
spring preload, rebound damping
and compression damping.
The standard rear suspension preload
settings provide a comfortable ride and
good handling characteristics for
general, solo riding. The following table
shows suggested settings for rear
suspension under different load
conditions for all models.
