Adjusting the shock absorber
assemblies
Always adjust both shock absorber
assemblies equally, otherwise poor
handling and loss of stability may re-
sult.
Each shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring.
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring on each shock ab-
sorber assembly in direction (a). To de-
crease the spring preload and thereby
soften the suspension, turn the adjust-
ing ring on each shock absorber as-
sembly in direction (b).

WARNING
NOTICE
Align the appropriate notch in the
adjusting ring with the position in-
dicator on the shock absorber.
Use the spring preload adjusting
tool included in the owner's tool
kit to make this adjustment.
