Spring preload
Adjustment for front
suspension
with Dynamic Damping Con-
trol
OE
Front spring preload has to
be adjusted to suit the rider's
weight. Increase spring preload
for heavier riders, decrease
spring preload for lighter riders.
Adjustment for rear
suspension
It is essential to set spring pre-
load of the rear suspension to
suit the load carried by the mo-
torcycle. Increase spring pre-
load when the vehicle is heavily
loaded and reduce spring preload
accordingly when the vehicle is
lightly loaded.
Adjusting spring preload
for rear wheel
Make sure the ground is level
and firm and place the motor-
cycle on its stand.
Make sure there is no load
on the motorcycle; remove all
items of luggage, if carried.
Use the tool from the on-board
toolkit to slacken screw
1
.
Hold the motorcycle upright
(do not prop it on the side
stand) and measure distance
D
from bottom edge
1
of the
number-plate carrier to screw
2
of the chain guard.
Apply the rider's weight to the
motorcycle.
With the assistance of a
second person, measure
distance
D
between points
1
and
2
again and calculate the
difference (negative spring
displacement) between the two
readings.
