NOTICE
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the

maximum or minimum settings.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
1. Remove panel A. (See page 7-9.)
2. To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension,
turn the adjusting ring in direction

load and thereby soften the sus-
pension, turn the adjusting ring in
direction (b).
TIP
Align the appropriate notch in the ad-
justing ring with the position indicator
on the shock absorber.
