Rear Suspension
Rebound damping adjuster.
To adjust the adjuster to the standard position,
proceed as follows:
1.
Turn the damping adjuster (1) clockwise
until it will no longer turn. This is the full
hard setting.
2. Turn the adjuster counterclockwise
approximately 1 turn so that its punch
mark (2) aligns with the reference punch
mark (3).
Then the adjuster is set in the standard
position.
To reduce (SOFT):
Turn the adjuster counterclockwise toward
SOFT for a light load and smooth road
conditions.
To increase (HARD):
Turn the adjuster clockwise toward HARD for
a firmer ride and rough road conditions.
The rear shock absorber assembly includes a
damper unit that contains high pressure
nitrogen gas. Do not attempt to disassemble or
service the damper; it cannot be rebuilt and
must be replaced when worn out. Disposal
should only be done by your authorized Honda
dealer. The instructions found in this owner's
manual are limited to adjustment of the shock
assembly only.
