Servicing Your Honda
71
Suspension
The swingarm is controlled by one hydraulic shock
absorber with an aluminum reservoir for oil and
nitrogen gas pressure. The gas pressure in the
reservoir is contained within a rubber bladder.
The shock absorber’s spring pre-load and damping
adjustments (compression and rebound) should be
adjusted for the rider’s weight and track conditions
(pages 104, 106, 107).
Do not attempt to disassemble, service, or dispose
of the damper; see your dealer. The instructions
found in this owner’s manual are limited to
adjustments of the shock assembly only.
• When your CRF is new, break it in for
approximately 1 hour with the standard
suspension settings before attempting to adjust
the rear suspension.
•Refer to Suspension Adjustment Guidelines
(page 107). Make all compression and rebound
damping adjustments in 1/4 turn increments.
(Adjusting 1/2 or more turns at a time may
cause you to pass over the best adjustment.)
Test ride after each adjustment.
• If the rear suspension is too stiff/soft, adjust it
by turning both the compression and rebound
damping adjusters in 1/4 turn increments until
the suspension feels approximately “right”.
(Turning just one adjuster, rather than both,
may cause a loss of balance between
compression and rebound damping.) After
adjusting both adjusters simultaneously,
suspension may be fine-tuned by turning either
the compression or rebound damping adjuster
in 1/4 turn increments.
• If you have a problem finding an acceptable
adjustment, return to the standard position and
begin again.
1. Bounce the rear of the motorcycle up and down
and check for smooth suspension action.
2. Remove the subframe (page 32).
3. Check for a broken or collapsed spring.
4. Check the rear shock absorber (1) for a bent
shaft or oil leaks.
5. Push the rear wheel sideways to check for
worn or loose swingarm bearings. There
should be no movement. If there is, have the
bearings replaced by your dealer.
