The electrical adjustable suspension allows the preload of the rear suspension to be adjusted in four levels according to riding and load conditions.

The rear suspension spring preload adjustment can be changed when your vehicle is stopped or when riding at a constant speed without sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration, wheelspin, wheelies or jumps, etc.

When riding on rough roads or when using tyres with diameters that are extremely different from the recommended tyres, the system may not operate even when riding is stable.

If you change the preload after you start riding, the grounding ability will change as the vehicle height changes. Be careful when changing the preload while riding.
