Suspension
Your front and rear suspension systems use springs and hydraulic
damping devices that suspend your weight and most of the weight
of your Honda SXS.
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 rough terrain.
The spring pre-loads for your rear suspension system adjust the
amount of force required to begin compression of the spring.
Consider adjusting your suspensions pre-load whenever you change
your normal load, by adding cargo or accessories, or when driving
conditions change.
The way you drive your Honda SXS 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 terrain. Higher spring pre-load provides a
firmer ride and is recommended for heavy loads and rough terrain.
Using a pin spanner, which is available from your dealer, the rear
suspension can be adjusted for carrying heavier cargo.
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.
