Spring Preload - Honda CB1000R Owner's Manual

3

Spring Preload

The spring preload adjuster (1) has 10 spring
preload positions for different load or riding
conditions.
Use a pin spanner (2) and extension bar (3) to
adjust the rear shock. Insert a protection (4) in
order to prevent damages to surface of rear
shock assorber.
Position 1 to 2 are for light loads and smooth
road conditions. Position 3 is standard
position. Positions 4 to 10 increase spring
preload for a stiffer rear suspension, and can
be used when the motorcycle is heavily
loaded.
The rear shock absorber assembly includes a
damper unit that contains high pressure
nitrogen gas. Do not attempt to disassemble
or service the damper; it cannot be rebuilt and
must be replaced when worn out. Disposal
should only be done by your Honda dealer.
