INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS3-283CAUTION:ECA10100Never attempt to turn an adjustingmechanism beyond the maximum orminimum settings.NOTE:Although the total number of clicks of adamping force adjusting mechanismmay not exactly match the above spec-ifications due to small differences inproduction, the actual number of clicksalways represents the entire adjustingrange. To obtain a precise adjustment,it would be advisable to check the num-ber of clicks of each damping force ad-justing mechanism and to modify thespecifications as necessary.EAU14911Adjusting the shock absorberassemblyThis shock absorber assembly isequipped with a spring preload adjust-ing lever and a rebound damping forceadjusting knob.CAUTION:ECA10100Never attempt to turn an adjustingmechanism beyond the maximum orminimum settings.Spring preloadFor riding solo, move the spring preloadadjusting lever in direction (b). Forriding with a passenger, move thespring preload adjusting lever in direc-tion (a).Rebound damping forceTo increase the rebound damping forceand thereby harden the rebound damp-ing, turn the adjusting knob in direction(a). To decrease the rebound dampingforce and thereby soften the rebounddamping, turn the adjusting knob in di-rection (b).1. Spring preload adjusting lever1. Rebound damping force adjusting knob
