ACS Rear Suspension Adjustment

(with Manual Adjustment)
The rear air suspension is pressurized
for general operation. If the vehicle
load changes (adding a passenger, rid-
ing with more cargo etc.) or if a softer
or a harder setting is desired, the pres-
sure of the rear suspension can be
changed to your preferences.
The suspension pressure is adjustable
by deflating or inflating the air spring.
Use an air compressor (from a gas sta-
tion) and a pressure gauge.
To soften suspension, reduce the air
pressure and to harden suspension,
increase air pressure.
NOTE: The following chart is a guide-
line only. You may adjust the pressure
to your riding preference as long as you
do not exceed the maximum allowed
pressure.

mum allowed pressure. This might
damage the air suspension.

1, 2
compartment.

an air hose with a schrader valve lo-
cated under the seat.
