ADJUSTMENTS
Spring bolts: Tighten snugly with an ordinary
wrench; then back off 1/6 turn.
Spring clips: Pull up as tight as possible.
Suggestions: Tight shackle bolts cause hard riding and are frequently responsible for breakage of the
main leaf. Lubricate bolts. Do not lubricate spring leaves. Leaf breakage in the center between spring clips
is an indication of loose clips. Spring bolts should be adjusted every 5000 miles.
