1.
Loosen the locknut.
2.
To increase the spring preload and there-
by harden the suspension, turn the ad-
justing nut in direction (a). To decrease
the spring preload and thereby soften the
suspension, turn the adjusting nut in di-
rection (b).
TIP
The spring preload setting is determined by
measuring distance A, shown in the illustra-
tion. The longer distance A is, the higher the
spring preload; the shorter distance A is, the
lower the spring preload.
3.
Tighten the locknut to the specified
torque.
NOTICE:
Always tighten the
locknut against the adjusting nut, and
then tighten the locknut to the speci-
fied torque.
