The spring pre-load adjuster ( ) has
10 positions for different load or riding
conditions.
Use a pin spanner ( ) to adjust the rear 2
shock spring pre-load.
Positions 1 to 3: for a light load and
smooth road conditions.
Position 4: standard position.
Positions 5 to 10: for when the motorcycle
is more heavily loaded. (Also increase
spring pre-load for stiffer rear suspension.)
Always adjust the shock absorber position
in sequence (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 or 10-
9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1). Attempting to adjust
directly from 1 to 10 or 10 to 1 may
damage the shock absorber.
