INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS3-293EAU14916Adjusting the shock absorberassemblyThis shock absorber assembly isequipped with a spring preload adjust-ing lever and a rebound damping forceadjusting knob.NOTICEECA16570To avoid damaging the mechanism,do not attempt to move beyond themaximum or minimum settings.Spring preloadFor riding solo, move the spring preloadadjusting lever in direction (a). Forriding with a passenger, move thespring preload adjusting lever in direc-tion (b).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).TIPTo obtain a precise adjustment, it is ad-visable to check the actual total numberof clicks or turns of the damping forceadjusting mechanism. This adjustmentrange may not exactly match the spec-ifications listed due to small differencesin production.1. Spring preload adjusting lever 1. Rebound damping force adjusting knobRebound damping setting:Minimum (soft):20 click(s) in direction (b)*Standard:12 click(s) in direction (b)*Maximum (hard):3 click(s) in direction (b)** With the adjusting knob fully turnedin direction (a)U1CYE1E0.book Page 29 Tuesday, July 20, 2010 10:17 AM
