CAUTION
To calculate the number of clicks of the
adjusters (1-2), always start from the
most rigid setting (complete clockwise
rotation of the adjuster).
Do not force the rotation of the adju-
sters (1-2) beyond the end of stroke in
both directions, in order to avoid any
damage.
Give the adjusters (1-2) one notch at a
time. Test the vehicle repeatedly on the
road, until obtaining the optimal adjust-
ment.
S e t t h e s a m e s p r i n g p r e l o a d a n d

rent setting of the rods decreases the
stability of the vehicle while riding.
When the spring preload is increased, it

while riding.
