TIP
Although the total number of clicks of a
damping force adjusting mechanism
may not exactly match the above spec-
ifications due to small differences in
production, the actual number of clicks
always represents the entire adjusting
range. To obtain a precise adjustment,
it would be advisable to check the num-
ber of clicks of each damping force ad-
justing mechanism and to modify the
specifications as necessary.

Adjusting the shock absorber
assembly
This shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing lever and a rebound damping force
adjusting knob.
NOTICE
ECA16570
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to move beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.
Spring preload
For riding solo, move the spring preload
adjusting lever in direction (b). For
riding with a passenger, move the
spring preload adjusting lever in direc-
tion (a).
Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting knob in direction
(a). To decrease the rebound damping
force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting knob in di-
rection (b).
