Spring preload

loaded and reduce spring preload
accordingly when the vehicle is
lightly loaded.
Adjusting spring preload

Adjusting spring preload
while the motorcycle is be-
ing ridden can lead to accidents.
Do not attempt to adjust spring
preload unless the motorcycle is
at a standstill.
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
