Adjust the spring preload as follows.
1. Remove the drive chain guard by
removing the bolts and collars.
2. To increase the spring preload
and thereby harden the suspen-
sion, turn the adjusting ring in di-
rection (a). To decrease the spring
preload and thereby soften the
suspension, turn the adjusting ring
in direction (b).
Align the appropriate notch in
the adjusting ring with the po-
sition indicator on the shock
absorber.
Use the special wrench and
the extension bar included in
the owner’s tool kit to make
the adjustment.
3. Install the drive chain guard by in-
stalling the collars and bolts, and
then tighten the bolts to the spec-
ified torque.
