To change the rear suspension spring
pre-load
setting,
insert
the
adjustment tool supplied in the tool kit
into the hole provided in the adjuster
ring.
Turn the adjuster ring clockwise to

set at position 1.
Suggested Suspension
Settings
Adjuster settings are counted from
position one with position one being
with the adjuster turned fully anti-
clockwise. There are five positions in
total. Position one gives the
minimum amount of spring pre-load.
Warning
Ensure that the adjusters are set to
the same setting on both rear
suspension units. Settings that
vary from left to right may affect
handling and stability resulting in
loss of motorcycle control, and an
accident.
