POTENTIAL HAZARD
Worn or damaged suspension components
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Suspension components are directly “safety-
related.” You can be severely injured or killed if you
operate the vehicle with worn or damaged
suspension components.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Inspect and maintain the suspension systems (front/
rear) on your vehicle as described in this Owner’s
Manual before every ride. If you observe any
damage, have it inspected and repaired before riding
your vehicle. Contact an authorized Cannondale
motorsports dealer.
Have the suspension system serviced in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in this Owner’s
Manual.
Never attempt to disassemble or perform service to
the internal settings of either the front or rear
suspension systems. Only a qualified service
technician with considerable experience should
perform any service.
