Adjusting the shock absorber
assembly
This model is equipped with adjustable
suspension. The spring preload, re-
bound damping force, fast compres-
sion damping force,
compression damping force can be ad-
justed.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.
Spring preload
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. 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 sus-
pension, turn the adjusting ring in
direction (b).
The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A.
The longer distance A is, the high-
er the spring preload; the shorter
5-23
EAU74241 distance A is, the lower the spring
preload.

Use the special wrench includ-
ed in the additional tool kit to
make the adjustment.
