SUSPENSION (WALKER EVANS™)
Spring Preload Adjustment
The front and rear shocks have a preload adjustment.
Suspension spring preload may be adjusted to suit different
riding conditions or vehicle payloads.
1. Raise and safely support the front or rear of the vehicle off
the ground to allow the suspension to fully extend.
2. Turn the preload adjustment collar (1) clockwise to
increase preload or counter-clockwise to decrease preload.
Shock Compression Adjustment
The compression damping adjustment is located on top of the
shock reservoir of each shock.
Damping adjustments can be made without using any tools.
NOTE: When the adjuster knob is turned counter-
clockwise until it stops, the damping is in the fully
open position (Soft).
Turn the clicker clockwise to increase compression damping.
Turn the clicker counter-clockwise to decrease compression
damping.
NOTE: The factory setting is 6 clicks clockwise from
the softest position (see “Compression Adjustment
Table”).
WARNING
Uneven adjustment may cause poor handling of the
vehicle, which could result in an accident and
serious injury or death. Always adjust both the left
and right spring preloads equally.
