TIP

The damping forces will not decrease past the
minimum levels even if the adjusting knobs
are turned out more than the minimum set-

Adjusting the spring preload of the 
center shock absorber and the rear 
torsion springs 
(FX10/FX10RTRS/FX10XT) 

The spring preload can be adjusted by turning
the adjusting nut on the center shock absorb-
er and the adjusters on the rear torsion
springs. Adjust the spring preload as follows.

Center shock absorber

1.

Loosen the locknut.

To increase the spring preload and there-
by harden the suspension, turn the ad-
justing nut in direction (a). To decrease
the spring preload and thereby soften the
suspension, turn the adjusting nut in di-
rection (b).
