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.
