Choice of suspension adjustments
vary with vehicle load, personal pref-
erence, riding speed and terrain
condition.
The best way to set up the suspen-
sion, is to start from factory settings,
then customize each adjustment one
at a time.
Front and rear adjustments are inter-
related. It may be necessary to read-
just the rear shock absorbers after
adjusting front shock absorbers for
instance.
Test run the vehicle under the same
conditions; trail, speed, load, etc.
Change one adjustment and retest.
Proceed methodically until you are
satisfied.
