operation. Never touch the compression

damping force adjusting screw or the oil res-
ervoir with your bare hand or skin until sus-
pension components have cooled.

handling and loss of stability, which could
lead to an accident.

NOTICE
Never turn an adjusting mechanism beyond
the minimum and maximum settings.
Spring preload
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. Turn the spring preload adjusting nut in direc-
tion (a) to increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, and in direc-
tion (b) to decrease the spring preload and
thereby soften the suspension.
