Control functions Rebound damping force The rebound damping force of each shock absorber can be adjusted by turning its re- bound damping force adjusting knob. To increase the rebound damping force, turn the adjusting knob in direction (a). To de- crease the rebound damping force, turn the adjusting knob in direction (b). (b) 1 3 (a) 2 1.

To decrease the spring preload and thereby soften the suspension, turn the adjusting nut in di- rection (b). 1.
Rebound damping force adjusting knob Rebound 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 turned in direction (a) TIP The spring preload setting is determined by measuring distance A, shown in the illustra- tion. The longer distance A is, the higher the spring preload; the shorter distance A is, the lower the spring preload. TIP tings. ESU13082 The spring preload can be adjusted by turning the adjusting nut on the rear shock absorber. Adjust the spring preload as follows. 3. Tighten the locknut to the specified torque. NOTICE:
Always tighten the locknut against the adjusting nut, and then tighten the locknut to the speci- fied torque.
