Rear Suspension
Spring Preload:
The spring preload adjuster ( ) has
5 spring preload positions for different
load or riding conditions.
Use the pin spanner ( ) and extension bar
( ) to adjust the rear shock. 3
Positions 1 to 2 are for a light load and
smooth road conditions. Position 3 is the
standard position. Positions 4 to 5 increase
spring preload for a stiffer rear suspension
and can be used when the motorcycle is
more heavily loaded. Be certain to adjust
both shock absorbers to the same position.
The rear shock absorber assembly includes
a damper unit that contains high pressure
nitrogen gas. Do not attempt to disassemble
or service the damper; it cannot be rebuilt
and must be replaced when worn out.
Disposal should only be done by your
Honda dealer. The instructions found in this
owner's manual are limited to adjustment of
the shock assembly only.
