Each shock absorber on your scooter
has 5 spring preload adjustment
positions for different load or riding
conditions.
Use a pin spanner to adjust the rear
shock spring preload. Position 1 is for
light loads and smooth road conditions.
Position 3 to 5 increase spring preload
for a stiffer rear suspension and can be
used when the scooter is heavily
loaded.
Be certain to adjust both shock
absorbers to the same spring preload
positions.
✻ Always adjust the shock
absorber pre-load position in
sequence (1-2-3-4-5 or 5-4-3-2-1).
Attempting to adjust directly
from 1 to 5 or 5 to 1 may damage
the shock absorber.
