Suspension Adjustment
Guidelines
Your vehicle handling and comfort de-
pend upon suspension adjustments.
WARNING
Suspension adjustment could af-
fect vehicle handling. Always take
time to familiarize yourself with
the vehicle's behavior after any
suspension adjustment has been
made.
Choice of suspension adjustments
vary with vehicle load, personal pref-
erence, riding speed and terrain condi-
tion.
The best way to set up the suspension,
is to start from factory settings, then
customize each adjustment one at a
time.
Front and rear adjustments are interre-
lated. It may be necessary to readjust
the rear shock absorbers after adjust-
ing front shock absorbers for instance.
Test run the vehicle under the same
conditions; trail, speed, load, etc.
Change one adjustment and retest.
Proceed methodically until you are sat-
isfied.
Following are guidelines to fine-tune
suspension.
