Spring Preload

You can adjust the spring preload by the adjuster to suit the load or the road surface. Turn the adjuster using the pin spanner and extension bar provided in the tool kit.

Turn clockwise to increase spring preload (hard), or turn counterclockwise to decrease spring preload (soft).

The standard position is 3 clicks from the minimum setting.

You can turn 3 clicks to the counterclockwise and 15 clicks clockwise from the standard position.
