ADJUSTING THE DAMPING FORCE OF THE
FRONT FORK LEGS AND REAR SHOCK
ABSORBER ASSEMBLY
This model is equipped with an electronically ad-
justable suspension system. The damping force
of the front fork legs and rear shock absorber
can be adjusted. Within each preload setting,
there are 3 damping force settings:
"HARD" (hard),
"STD" (standard) and
"SOFT" (soft).
When the preload setting is changed, the damp-
ing force settings will change accordingly. (The
electronically adjustable suspension will auto-
matically adjust to the damping force settings
last set for that preload setting.) To further finely
adjust the damping force, each damping force
setting can be set to 7 different levels.
1. Adjust:
• Damping force
TIP
If the preload setting was not completed correct-
ly:
• The damping force setting and setting level will
flash 4 times and cannot be adjusted if you try
to adjust them while the vehicle is stopped.
• The preload setting pictogram will flash and the
damping force cannot be adjusted if you try to
adjust it while the vehicle is moving.
Be sure that the preload has been set correctly
before adjusting the damping force.
