Rear Suspension Adjustments
(3) rebound damping adjuster
To adjust to the standard position:
1. Turn the adjuster clockwise until it will no
longer turn (lightly seat). This is the full hard
position.
2. Turn the adjuster counterclockwise 11 – 14
clicks with the punch marks on the adjuster
and the shock absorber aligned.
Rear Suspension Damping
Compression Damping
Compression damping may be adjusted in two
stages with separate adjusters.
The high speed damping adjuster (1) is effective
when damping adjustment is desired for high
speed operation. The low speed damping
adjuster (2) should be used when damping
adjustment is desired at relatively low speeds.
• Both the high and low speed compression
damping can be increased by turning the
appropriate adjuster clockwise.
• Adjust the high speed compression adjuster in
1/12 turn increments.
• Be sure the low speed compression adjuster is
firmly located in a detent, and not between
positions.
(1) high speed damping adjuster
(2) low speed damping adjuster
High Speed Damping:
The high speed damping can be adjusted by
turning the hexagonal portion of the compression
adjuster.
To adjust to the standard position:
1. Turn the adjuster clockwise until it will no
longer turn (lightly seats). This is the full hard
setting.
2. Turn the adjuster counterclockwise 1 3/4 –
2 1/4 turns and the punch marks are
aligned.
Low Speed Damping:
The low speed damping can be adjusted by
turning the center screw of the compression
adjuster.
The low speed compression adjuster has 13
positions or more.
Turning the adjuster one full turn clockwise
advances the adjuster 4 positions.
To adjust to the standard position:
1. Turn the adjuster clockwise until it will no
longer turn (lightly seat). This is the full hard
setting.
2. Turn the adjuster counterclockwise 12 clicks
and the punch marks are aligned.
Rebound Damping
The rebound damping adjuster (3) is located at
the lower end of the shock absorber.
It has 17 positions or more. Turning the adjuster
one full turn advances the adjuster 4 positions.
• Rebound damping can be increased by turning
the adjuster clockwise.
• Be sure that the rebound adjuster is firmly
located in a detent, and not between positions.
