SUSPENSION
Air pressure adjustment:
The front and rear suspension of this
motorcycle can provide the desired ride
under various rider/cargo weights and
driving conditions through adjustment of
the air pressure.
The recommended pressures under normal
conditions are:
Front: 14-21 psi (l00-150 kPa, LO-
U
kg/em
2
)
Rear: 0-57 psi (0-400 kPa, 0-4.0 kg/
cm
2
)
low air pressure settings provide a softer
ride and are for light loads and smooth
road conditions. High --air pressure settings
provide a frrmer ride and are for heavy
loads and rough road conditions.

rear shock absorber air valve cap.
3. Check the air pressure using the pressure
gauge (1) supplied in the tool compart-
ment.
