Spring Preload Adjustment

The front and rear shocks have a preload adjustment.
Suspension spring preload may be adjusted to suit different
riding conditions or vehicle payloads.
WARNING
Uneven adjustment may cause poor handling of the
vehicle, which could result in an accident and
serious injury or death. Always adjust both the left
and right spring preloads equally.
1. Raise and safely support the front or rear of the vehicle off
the ground to allow the suspension to fully extend.
2. Loosen the upper jam nut adjustment ring. Turn the lower
adjustment ring (1) clockwise to increase preload or
counter-clockwise to decrease preload.
