Suspension
Your front and rear suspension
systems
use
springs
and hydraulic damping
devices
that suspend your weight
and
most
of
the
weight
of
your
motorcycle.
The spring
pre-load
for your rear
suspension system
adjusts
the
amount
of
force
required
to
begin compression
of the
spring.
The oil damper systems
hydraulically
control
the
natural compression
and
rebound
of
the
suspension
springs
so that
traction and comfort are
maintained
as
the
wheels
ride over
road surfaces.
Consider adjusting your rear suspension
pre-load whenever you
change
your
normal
load,
by
adding
or
subtracting
a
passenger, cargo,
or
accessories,
or when
the
road
or riding
conditions
change.
The way
you
ride
your
motorcycle
and
the
type of ride
you want
to experience
can
also
influence
your suspension
needs.
Lower
spring pre-load
provides a softer
ride
and
is usually
preferred for light
loads
and
smooth
roads.
Higher
spring
pre-load
provides
a
firmer
ride
and
is
recommended
for heavy
loads,
rough road
conditions,
and
faster,
more challenging
riding.
