Danger of accidents Modifications to the suspension settings can seriously alter the vehicle's ride behavior.

Following modifications, ride slowly at first to get the feel of the new ride behavior.
Info
The spring preload defines the initial situation of the spring process on the shock absorber.
The best spring preload setting is achieved when it is set for the weight of the rider and that of any baggage and a passenger, thus
ensuring an ideal compromise between maneuverability and stability.
Before changing the spring preload, make a note of the present setting, e.g., by measuring the length of the spring.
