This vehicle offers several options for adjusting the seat height to the
rider's height.
The seat height can be changed with the mounting position of the fork,
shock absorber, and frame.
Info
When adjusting the seat height on the fork and shock absorber,
make sure that the vehicle is as straight as possible after comple-
tion of the work.
If the seat height on the shock absorber is set low, the fork
should be pushed through further and vice versa.
