PRE-RIDE CHECKS

e-Ride

Check Rear Suspension

Proper rear suspension adjustment is essential for the most comfortable ride and optimum

safety. Check the rear shock absorber movement and air pressure to ensure the

motorcycle has the proper amount of available suspension travel and ground clearance.

See page 153 for suspension air pressure adjustment for various vehicle loads, and

consult the Suspension Air Pressure Label located in the left saddlebag (near air fitting).

WARNING

Inadequate ground clearance could allow components to come into contact with the

ground, causing loss of control.
