Suspension - Honda GL1100 Owner's Manual

SUSPENSION
The front and rear suspension of this
motorcycle can provide the desired ride
under various rider/cargo weights and
driving conditions through adjustment of
the air pressure.
The recommended pressures under normal
conditions are:
Front: 14-21 psi (100-1 SO !cPa, 1.0-
1.5
kg/em')
Rear: 28-57 psi (200-400 kPa, 2.0-
4.0
kg/em')
Low air pressure settings provide a softer
ride and are for light loads and smooth
road conditions. High air pressure settings
provide a firmer ride and are for heavy
loads and rough road conditions.
