Adjusting the shock absorber
assemblies
Both shock absorber assemblies are
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring and a damping force adjusting
knob.
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.
Spring preload
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 bottom edge of the ad-
justing ring with the appropriate
setting on the shock absorber.
●
Use the special wrench included in
the owner’s tool kit to make this ad-
justment.
