Front Suspension Settings
The standard suspension settings provide a
comfortable ride and good handling
characteristics for general, solo riding. The
chart shows suggested settings for the front
and rear suspension.
The front suspension is adjustable for
pre-load only. The spring pre-load adjusters
are located at the top of each fork.
Note:
•
The setting figures for the front
suspension are measured as the
number of adjuster rings visible
above the fork top cap.

Warning
Ensure that the correct balance between
front and rear suspension is maintained.
Suspension imbalance could significantly
change handling characteristics leading to
loss of control and an accident. Refer to the
chart on the previous page for further
information or consult your dealer.
Warning
Ensure that the adjusters are set to the
same setting on both forks. Settings which
vary from left to right could significantly
change handling characteristics leading to
loss of control and an accident.
