REAR SUSPENSION

Spring Pre-load Adjustment
The rear suspension spring pre-load
is adjustable to compensate for the
rider, load, riding style and road con-
ditions. The spring pre-load is adjust-
able to 7 positions. To change the
spring pre-load setting, place the
motorcycle on the side stand. Twist
the spring tension ring to the desired
position with the adjuster provided in
the tool kit. Position 1 provides the
softest spring tension and position 7
provides the stiffest. This motorcycle
is delivered from the factory with its
adjuster set on position 4 (GSX-
S1000/A), position 3 (GSX-S1000F/
