Changes In Load; Ride Quality Enhancement; Enhanced Steering Quickness - Buell XB Series Owner's Manual's

Do not operate motorcycle with loose, worn or damaged steering or suspension
systems. Contact a Buell dealer for repairs. Loose, worn or damaged steering or
suspension components can adversely affect stability and handling, which could result
in death or serious injury. (00113a)

Changes in Load

Changes in the load carried requires changes in the preload setting(s). Carrying less
weight than was used for setting up the suspension requires decreasing the amount of
preload. Increasing the load carried requires adding more preload.
Do not exceed the motorcycle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). Exceeding these weight ratings can affect stability and
handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00016e)

GVWR is the sum of the weight of the motorcycle, accessories, and the
maximum weight of the rider, passenger and cargo that can be safely carried.

GAWR is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely carried on each
axle.

The GVWR and GAWR are shown on the information plate, located on the
frame steering head.

Ride Quality Enhancement

The stock settings are designed to offer sufficient chassis control, but some may choose
to enhance ride comfort over rougher road conditions or for long rides. Adjusting the
compression setting will reduce both high and low speed damping.
1. Adjust suspension for rider weight. See
XB12X.
2. Increase ride quality by reducing front and rear compression damping by turning
adjuster counterclockwise 1/4-1 turn.
3. If additional ride quality is desired, reduce front preload by turning adjuster
counterclockwise one turn.
4. If maximum ride quality is desired, decrease front and rear rebound damping by
turning adjusters counterclockwise by 1/4-1/2 turn.
