Servicing Your Honda
Suspension
Your front and rear suspension systems use springs and hydraulic damping
devices that suspend your weight and most of the weight of your motorcycle.
The spring pre-load for your rear suspension system adjusts the amount of force
required to begin compression of the spring.
The oil damper systems hydraulically control the natural compression and
rebound of the suspension springs so that traction and comfort are maintained as
the wheels ride over road surfaces.
Consider adjusting your rear suspension pre-load whenever you change your
normal load, when adding or subtracting a passenger, cargo, or accessories, or
when the road or riding conditions change.
The way you ride your motorcycle and the type of ride you want to experience
can also influence your suspension needs.
Lower spring pre-load provides a softer ride and is usually preferred for light
loads and smooth roads. Higher spring pre-load provides a firmer ride and is
recommended for heavy loads, rough road conditions, and faster, more
challenging riding.
Rear Suspension Adjustment
The rear suspension can be adjusted for rider (and passenger) weight and riding
conditions by changing the spring pre-load.
Do not attempt to disassemble, service, or dispose of the damper; see your
dealer. The instructions found in this owner’s manual are limited to adjustments
of the shock assembly only.
Rear Suspension Spring Pre-load Adjustment
Rear suspension spring pre-load can be easily increased or decreased using the
rear suspension spring pre-load adjustment switch on the right fairing panel.
Then you can confirm the pre-load position with the multi information display.
This rear suspension spring pre-load adjustment system functions only when the
ignition switch is ON or ACC, your motorcycle is stopped, and the transmission
is in neutral. (When the reverse indicator is ON, the system will not function.)
