NOTICE
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.
1. Locknut
2. Adjusting nut
2. To increase the spring preload
and thereby harden the suspen-
sion, turn the adjusting nut in di-
rection (a). To decrease the spring
preload and thereby soften the
suspension, turn the adjusting
nut in direction (b).
The spring preload setting is de-
termined by measuring distance A,
shown in the illustration. The
shorter distance A is, the lower the
spring preload; the longer distance
A is, the higher the spring preload.
Spring preload:
Minimum (soft):
Distance A = 194 mm (7.6 in)
Standard:
Distance A = 204 mm (8.0 in)
Maximum (hard):
Distance A = 206 mm (8.1 in)
3. Tighten the locknut to the speci-
fied torque. NOTICE: Always
tighten the locknut against the
adjusting nut, and then tighten
the locknut to the specified
torque.
