Suspension - Honda NRX1800 2004 Owner's Manual

Your front and rear suspension systems
use springs, hydraulic damping devices,
and linkages (rear only) that suspend your
weight and most of the weight of your
motorcycle.
The spring pre-load for your rear
suspension system adjusts the amount of
force required to begin compression of the
spring.
The oil damper systems hydraulically
control the rebound of the suspension
springs so that traction and comfort are
maintained as the wheels ride over road
surfaces.
Consider adjusting your suspension
whenever you change your normal load,
by adding or subtracting cargo or
accessories, or when the road or riding
conditions change.
The way you ride your motorcycle and the
type of ride you want to experience can
also influence your suspension needs.
Softer damping provides a softer ride and
is usually preferred for light loads and
smooth roads. Firmer damping provides a
firmer ride and is recommended for heavy
loads, rough road conditions, and faster,
more challenging riding.
