Adjusting the spring preload of the
center shock absorber and the rear
torsion springs
The spring preload can be adjusted by turning
the adjusting ring [PZ50GT / PZ50MT (CAN) /
PZ50VT (CAN)] or adjusting nut [PZ50RT /
PZ50MT (FIN)(SWE)(RUS) /
(FIN)(SWE) / PZ50MP] on the center shock
absorber and the adjusters on the rear torsion
springs. Adjust the spring preload as follows.
Center shock absorber [PZ50GT / PZ50MT
(CAN) / PZ50VT (CAN)]
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 suspension, turn
the adjusting ring in direction (b).
