WARNING
EWB02492
Suspension components become hot
during operation. Never touch the com-
pression damping force adjusting bolt
and screw, the rebound damping force
adjusting screw or the oil reservoir with
your bare hand or skin until suspension
components have cooled.
Always adjust the shock absorber as-
semblies on the left and right side to the
same setting. Uneven adjustment can
cause poor handling and loss of stability,
which could lead to an accident.
NOTICE
ECB00091
Never turn an adjusting mechanism be-
yond the minimum and maximum settings.
TIP
When turning a damping force adjuster in
direction (a), the 0 click position and the 1
click position may be the same.
Although a damping force adjuster may
turn or click beyond the stated minimum
settings, such adjustments are ineffective
and may damage the suspension.
Spring preload
1. Elevate the vehicle and place a suitable
stand under the frame.
2. Loosen the locknut.
3. Turn the spring preload adjusting nut in
direction (a) to increase the spring pre-
load and thereby harden the suspension,
and in direction (b) to decrease the spring
preload and thereby soften the suspen-
sion.
