Adjusting the shock absorber
assembly
This model is equipped with adjustable
suspension. The spring preload, re-
bound damping force, fast compres-
sion damping force, and slow
compression damping force can be ad-
justed.
NOTICE
ECA10102
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.
Spring preload
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension,
turn the adjusting ring in direction
(a). To decrease the spring pre-
load and thereby soften the sus-
pension, turn the adjusting ring in
direction (b).
The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A.
The longer distance A is, the high-
er the spring preload; the shorter
distance A is, the lower the spring
preload.
Use the special wrench includ-
ed in the tool kit to make the ad-
justment.
3. Tighten the locknut to the specified
torque.
NOTICE:
Always tighten
the locknut against the adjust-
ing ring, and then tighten the
locknut to the specified
torque.

Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting screw in direction
(a). To decrease the rebound damping
force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting screw in di-
rection (b).
