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).
TIP
The damping forces will not decrease past the
minimum levels even if the adjusting knobs
are turned out more than the minimum set-
tings.

Adjusting the spring preload of the
center shock absorber and the rear
torsion springs
The spring preload can be adjusted by turning

PZ50VT) or adjusting nut (PZ50RT) on the
center shock absorber and the adjusters on
the rear torsion springs. Adjust the spring pre-
load as follows.
