Rear Suspension
Preload
Essentially, preload means that the spring is pushing outward on the shock before the
shock has even started compressing. To make the shock start to compress, you have to
overcome that preload force. The more preload force there is, the more force you have to
exert on the shock to get it to move
Adjusting Preload
Adjust Preload by turning the spring nut at the top of the spring.
• Turn the spring nut at the top of the spring clockwise to increase pressure on
the spring.
• Turn the spring nut counterclockwise to decrease pressure on the spring.
NOTE: When adjusting the pressure on the spring coil, you may need a
spanner tool to adjust the spring nut if you cannot hand tighten to the desired
pressure.
