• If the Pre-ride Inspection (page 61) is not performed, severe
personal injury or vehicle damage may result.
REAR SUSPENSION
The rear suspension of this motorcycle can provide the desired
ride and level under various rider/cargo weights and riding con-
ditions through adjustments of the air pressure. The usable air
pressure range under normal conditions is:
0-400 kPa (0-4.0 kg/cm
2
,
0-57 psi)
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.
