Adjusting the Rear Suspension
Adjusting the suspension requires pin
spanner and extension bar. We recommend
that you have your motorcycle serviced by
your dealer.
❙
Spring Preload
You can adjust the spring preload by the
adjuster to suit the load or the road surface.
Turn the adjuster using a suitable pin spanner
and extension bar.
The preload adjuster has 9 positions. The
standard position is 3 when the index mark
on the adjuster is aligned with the left end of
the rear shock absorber lower mounting bolt.
Turn the adjuster in the direction A to
decrease spring preload (soft) (position 1 to
2), or turn the adjuster in the direction B to
increase spring preload (hard) (position 4 to
9).
Attempting to adjust directly from 1 to 9 or 9
to 1 may damage the shock absorber.
