Rear Suspension - Suzuki gw250F Owner's Manual

! WARNING
Riding with the side stand incom-
pletely retracted can result in an
accident when you turn left.
Check operation of the side stand/
ignition interlock system before
riding. Always retract the side
stand completely before starting
off.
NOTICE
If you do not take proper precau-
tions when parking, the motorcy-
cle can fall over.
Park the motorcycle on firm, level
ground whenever possible. If you
must park on an incline, aim the
front of the motorcycle uphill and
put the transmission into 1st gear
to reduce the possibility of rolling
off the side stand.

REAR SUSPENSION

The rear suspension spring pre-load
is adjustable to compensate for a
rider, load, riding style and road con-
ditions. The spring pre-load is adjust-
able to 7 positions. To change the
spring pre-load setting, place the
motorcycle on the side stand. Twist
the spring tension ring to the desired
position with the adjuster provided in
the tool kit. Position 1 provides the
softest spring tension and position 7
provides the stiffest. This motorcycle
is delivered from the factory with its
adjuster set on position 3.
