For optimal motorcycle riding characteristics and to avoid damage
to forks, shock absorbers, link fork and frame, the basic settings of
the suspension components must match the rider's weight.

Small weight differences can be compensated by adjusting the
spring preload, but in the case of large weight differences, the
springs must be replaced.
