Adjusting the front shock absorber as-
semblies
The shock absorber assemblies are equipped
with a spring preload adjusting nut, a cross-
over adjusting nut, a high speed rebound
damping force adjusting bolt, a low speed re-
bound damping force adjusting screw, a high
speed compression damping force adjusting
bolt, and a low speed compression damping
force adjusting screw.
WARNING
EWB04140
Suspension components become hot
during operation. Never touch the com-
pression damping force adjusting bolt
and screw, the rebound damping force
adjusting bolt and screw, or the oil reser-
voir 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
Although the total number of clicks or turns of
a damping force adjusting mechanism may
not exactly match the following specifications
due to small differences in production, the ac-
tual number of clicks or turns always repre-
sents the entire adjusting range. To obtain a
precise adjustment, it would be advisable to
check the number of clicks or turns of each
damping force adjusting mechanism and to
modify the specifications as necessary.
