13.Rear Suspension
XCITING 400i/XCITING S 400
Shock Absorbers
SAFETY FIRST: Protective gloves and eyewear are recommended at this point.
Pre-Load Setting
Each shock absorber on the scooter has 5 spring preload adjustment positions for
different load or riding conditions.
Position 1 is for light loads and smooth road conditions. Position 3 to 5 increase
spring preload for stiffer rear suspension and can be used when the scooters
heavily loaded. Be certain to adjust both shock absorbers to the same spring
preload positions.
Use a pin spanner to adjust the rear shock spring preload.
The shock absorbers are adjustable for pre-load. There are 5
settings. Position 1 is the softest and 5 is the stiffest.
Caution:
Always adjust the shock absorber pre-load position
in sequence (1-2-3-4-5 or 5-4-3-2-1). Attempting to
adjust directly from 1 to 5 or 5 to 1 may damage the
shock absorber.
(Pre-Load Standard Setting: Position 3)
