Adjusting the shock absorber
assembly
This shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring, a rebound damping force ad-
justing screw, a compression damping
force adjusting bolt (for fast compres-
sion damping) and a compression
damping force adjusting bolt (for slow
compression damping).
CAUTION:
ECA10100
Never attempt to turn an adjusting
mechanism beyond the maximum or
minimum settings.
Spring preload
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring in direction (a). To de-
crease the spring preload and thereby
soften the suspension, turn the adjust-
ing ring in direction (b).
NOTE:
●
Align the appropriate notch in the
adjusting ring with the position in-
dicator on the shock absorber.
●
Use the special wrench included in
the owner’s tool kit to make the ad-
justment.
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).
