NOTICE
ECA10102
To avoid damaging the mechanism,

maximum or minimum settings.
Spring preload
The spring preload adjustment is per-
formed manually.
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension,
turn the adjusting ring in direction
(a). To decrease the spring pre-
load and thereby soften the sus-
pension, turn the adjusting ring in
direction (b).
The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A.
The longer distance A is, the high-
er the spring preload; the shorter
distance A is, the lower the spring
preload.
 Use the special wrench in the
owner’s tool kit to make the ad-
justment.
