When adjusting the damping force settings,
turn the adjuster in direction (a) until it
stops, and then count the turns or clicks in
direction (b).
Although a damping force adjuster may
turn or click beyond the stated minimum
settings, such adjustments are ineffective
and may damage the suspension.
NOTICE
ECB00091
Never turn an adjusting mechanism be-
yond the minimum and maximum settings.
Spring preload
1. Elevate the vehicle and place a suitable
stand under the frame.
2. Loosen the locknut.
3. Turn the spring preload adjusting nut in
direction (a) to increase the spring pre-
load and thereby harden the suspension,
and in direction (b) to decrease the spring
preload and thereby soften the suspen-
sion.
TIP
The spring preload setting is determined by
measuring distance A, shown in the illustra-
tion. The shorter distance A is, the higher the
spring preload; the longer distance A is, the
lower the spring preload.
