Rear Shock Adjustment
Spring Adjustment:
Obtaining the correct rear spring rate is critical for
proper handling. The spring rate must be set to
match the weight of the rider. Heavier riders require
stiffer spring rates. A good approximation of your rear
spring requirements can be found by measuring the
rear suspension’s sag. This measurement will quickly
determine if your rear spring is approximately correct
for your weight. This adjustment is a recommendation
guideline; personal riding preference may vary from
the specifications given.

on the motorcycle.

times.
