WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Be sure to work on a firm, flat and level surface
with the engine shut off and parking brake
"ON".
• Support the vehicle securely on stands by a
suitable jack before adjusting the rear shock
absorber springs.
• Keep the position of the left and right rear
shock absorber equal.
Uneven adjustment can cause poor handling
and loss of control, which could lead to an
accident.
The spring adjusting sleeves on the rear shock
absorbers have 5 positions so that the springs can be
adjusted for different riding and loading conditions.
For adjusting the rear shock absorber springs, lift up
the vehicle and turn the spring adjusting sleeves on the
shock absorbers to the desired position with the hook
wrench.
