Suspension Adjustments
Guideline
Vehicle handling and comfort depend upon sus-
pension adjustments.
WARNING
Suspension adjustment could affect vehicle
handling. Always take time to familiarize
yourself with the vehicle behavior after any
suspension adjustment has been made.
Choice of suspension adjustments vary with ve-
hicle load, personal preference, riding speed and
terrain condition.
The best way to set up the suspension, is to start
from factory settings, then customize each adjust-
ment one at a time.
Front and rear adjustments are interrelated. It
may be necessary to readjust the rear shock ab-
sorbers after adjusting front shock absorbers for
instance.
Test run the vehicle under the same conditions;
trail, speed, load, etc. Change one adjustment
and retest. Proceed methodically until you are
satisfied.
Following are guidelines to fine-tune suspension.
