Rear Suspension
The rear suspension spring preload, shock rebound damping
and shock compression damping may be adjusted to suit
different riding conditions and operator weight.
Spring Preload
1. Raise and safely support the rear of the vehicle off the
ground to allow the suspension to fully extend.
2. Loosen the jam nut and back it away from the adjusting
ring.
3. Turn the adjusting ring to the left (1) to increase pre-
load. Turn the ring to the right (2) to decrease preload.
NOTE: See Suspension Settings on page 166.
4. Tighten the jam nut firmly against the adjuster ring.
