Spring preload
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension,
turn the adjusting nut in direction
(a). To decrease the spring pre-
load and thereby soften the sus-
pension, turn the adjusting nut in
direction (b).
The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A,
shown in the illustration. The short-
er distance A is, the higher the
spring preload; the longer distance
A is, the lower the spring preload.
3. Tighten the locknut to the specified
torque. NOTICE: Always tighten
the locknut against the adjust-
