Adjustment

ƽ

WARNING

Adjust both springs to the same
length.

Uneven adjustment can

cause poor handling and loss of
stability and/or control, and in-
crease the risk of an accident.

Spring preload may vary from rider
to rider depending upon their weight.
Preload can be changed by setting
both lock nuts up or down to com-
press the spring to different lengths.

Shorten the spring for a firmer ride and
rough road condition.

Lengthen the spring for a light load and
a smooth road condition.
