SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT
The standard settings for both the
front and rear suspensions are
selected to meet various riding condi-
tions such as low to high motorcycle
speed and light to heavy load on the
motorcycle. The suspension settings
can be adjusted and fine-tuned
according to your preference.
FRONT SUSPENSION
Spring Pre-load Adjustment
To set the spring pre-load adjuster to
the standard position, turn the
adjuster
1
counterclockwise until it
stops and turn the adjuster clockwise
5-1/2 turns. Turn the adjuster clock-
wise from the standard position to
stiffen the spring pre-load. Turn the
adjuster counterclockwise to soften
the spring pre-load. The spring pre-
load should be adjusted gradually to
fine-tune the suspension. Adjust the
right and left front forks to the same
setting.
NOTICE
Turning adjusters by force can
damage the suspensions.
Do not turn adjusters beyond their
natural limits.
