SUSPENSION
Rear Suspension
Compression Damping:
To reduce (SOFl):
T urn the adjuster counterclockwise
toward SOFT for a light load and smooth
road condition.
To increase (HARD):
Turn the adjuster clockwise toward HARD
for a firmer ride and rough road condition.
To adjust the adjuster to the standard
position, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the damping adjuster (1) clockwise
until it will no longer turn (lightly seats).
This is the full hard setting.
2. The adjuster is set in the standard
position when the adjuster is turned
counterclockwise approximately 2 turns
so that its punch mark (2) aligns with
the reference punch mark (3).
