The Solo suspension settings provide a
comfortable ride and good handling
characteristics for general, solo riding.
The charts above show suggested
settings for the rear suspension.
An increase in spring preload requires
firmer damping, a reduction in spring
preload requires softer damping.
The damping must be adjusted to the
road conditions and the spring preload.
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
front and rear suspension setting
charts for further information or
consult your dealer.
