Spring preload
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring in direction (a). To de-
crease the spring preload and thereby
soften the suspension, turn the adjust-
ing ring in direction (b).
● Align the appropriate notch in the
adjusting ring with the position in-
dicator on the shock absorber.
● Use the special wrench and the
extension bar included in the own-
er’s tool kit to make the adjust-
ment.
Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting screw in direction
(a). To decrease the rebound damping
force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting screw in di-
rection (b).
Compression damping force
Compression damping force (for fast
compression damping)
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting bolt in
direction (a). To decrease the compres-
