Adjusting the shock absorber
assembly
This shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing nut.
NOTICE
ECA10101
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension,
turn the spring preload adjusting
nut in direction (a). To decrease
the spring preload and thereby
soften the suspension, turn the ad-
justing nut in direction (b).
The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A,
shown in the illustration. The short-
er distance A is, the lower the
spring preload; the longer distance
A is, the higher the spring preload.
Use the special wrench included in
the owner’s tool kit to make the ad-
justment.
