REAR SUSPENSION
Spring Pre-load Adjustment
The adjustment can be performed
by changing the adjuster ring
position. However, Suzuki recom-
mends that this adjustment be
done by your authorized Suzuki
dealer, since a special tool is
needed for this job.
Damping Force Adjustment
The rebound and compression
damping force can be individually
adjusted by turning the respective
adjusters. The rebound damping
force adjuster 1 is located at the
bottom of the rear suspension.
The compression damping force
adjusters 2 are located at the left
side of the rear suspension.
To adjust the damping force, set
the adjuster to the standard set-
ting first and then adjust the
adjuster to the desired position.
To set the rebound damping force
adjuster to the standard position,
turn the adjuster clockwise until it
stops and then turn it counter-
clockwise 12 clicks until the two
punch marks align. If the two
punch marks do not align by turn-
ing out 12 clicks, turn in or out the
adjuster until two punch marks
align.
Turn the adjuster clockwise from
the standard position to stiffen the
damping force. Turn the adjuster
counterclockwise to soften the
damping force.
force should be adjusted gradu-
ally, 1 click at a time, to fine-tune
the suspension.
