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.
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.
Rear Suspension Damping
Compression Damping
Compression damping may be adjusted in two
stages with separate adjusters.
The high speed compression damping adjuster
(1) is effective when compression damping
adjustment is desired for high speed operation.
The low speed compression damping adjuster (2)
should be used when compression 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 damping
adjuster in 1/12 turn increments.
(1) high speed compression damping adjuster
(2) low speed compression damping adjuster
High Speed Compression Damping:
The high speed damping can be adjusted by
turning the hexagonal portion of the compression
adjuster.
The high speed compression damping adjuster
has 3-1/2 turns or more.
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 3/4—1-1/4
turns and the punch marks are aligned.
Low Speed Compression Damping:
The low speed compression damping can be
adjusted by turning the centre screw of the
compression adjuster.
The low speed compression damping 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 10 clicks
and the punch marks are aligned.
