Adjusting the shock absorber

Each shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring.
CAUTION:
ECA10100
Never attempt to turn an adjusting
mechanism beyond the maximum or
minimum settings.
WARNING
EWA10210
Always adjust both shock absorber
assemblies equally, otherwise poor
handling and loss of stability may
result.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring on each shock ab-
sorber assembly in direction (a). To de-
crease the spring preload and thereby
soften the suspension, turn the adjust-
ing ring on each shock absorber as-
sembly in direction (b).
NOTE:
Align the appropriate notch in the ad-
justing ring with the position indicator
on the shock absorber.
