Adjusting Rear Spring Pre-
Load
Proper adjustment of rear spring pre-load
is necessary to get the most desirable
ride. The chart is designed to help in set-
ting up rear spring pre-load; however,
riding style is the single greatest factor in
determining rear spring requirements.

Up to 180
180-240
Over 240
NOTE: These cam position set-
tings are suggestions only. Personal
riding style will greatly influence
cam position settings. Spend time to
determine setting preferences.
Rear spring pre-load adjustment is accom-
plished by rotating the adjusting cams.
Position 3 provides the stiffest ride, and
position 1 is for the light driver or slow-
speed trail riding. Position 2 is for the
average operator under normal conditions.
Always rotate the cam from the lighter
position to the heavier position.
CAUTION
Never force the adjustment cams
from the low position to the high
position. Cam damage may occur.
To rotate an adjusting cam, use the spark
plug wrench from the tool kit. Rotate the
wrench until the cam is in the desired
position. To stiffen the ride, rotate the cam
so as to raise the spring end. Make the
appropriate adjustment on the other cam.
Overload Springs (Pantera
7000)
When either carrying a heavy load or rid-
ing 2-up, the overload springs should be
engaged by rotating the spring tension
blocks to the UP position. The spring ten-
sion blocks lock in an over-center posi-
tion when engaged.
