The following procedure applies to both of the rear shock absorber assemblies.
    • Securely support the vehicle so that there is no danger of it falling over.

    • Always adjust both rear shock absorber assemblies evenly. Uneven adjustment
      can result in poor handling and loss of stability.

Spring preload
Never go beyond the maximum or minimum adjustment positions.

1. Adjust:
    • Spring preload
Adjust the spring preload with the special wrench and extension bar included in the owner's tool kit 2.

    a. Turn the adjusting ring " 1 " in direction "a" or "b".

    b. Align the desired position on the adjusting ring with the stopper "2".

Direction "a"
Spring preload is increased (suspension is harder).

Direction "b"
Spring preload is decreased (suspension is softer).
Adjusting positions;
Standard: 2
Minimum (soft): 1
