mounts the motorcycle.
The ESA indicator continues
to flash until adjustment com-
pletes. Do not attempt to move
the motorcycle until adjustment
has completed.
Adjust spring preload

preload while the motor-

take the weight off the motor-
cycle before increasing spring
preload; if applicable, have your
passenger dismount.
