Suspension - Baja motorsports Phoenix 250 Owner's Manual

Suspension

The front and rear suspension systems consist of springs and
hydraulic damping devices. The rear suspension system has a
spring pre-load which adjusts the force needed to begin com-
pression of the spring. Traction and comfort are acquired by the
oil damper system. It hydraulically controls the compression and
rebound of the suspension.
Whenever you change the load on your motorcycle (add pas-
senger or cargo), or when riding conditions change, be sure to
adjust the rear suspension pre-load.
If you set the spring pre-load to a lower setting would will accom-
plish a softer ride. This is setting should be used with a light load
and smooth roads. For a more firm ride set the spring pre-load to
a higher setting, used for heavy loads, rough roads and a more
challenging ride.
Rear Suspension Adjustment
Adjustment to the spring pre-load on the rear suspension should
be done for the weight of a rider and passenger (if any) and dif-
ferent riding conditions.
The adjustments in this manual are limited. Do not disassemble
or service the dampers, have your local Service Center perform
these tasks.
