Rear torsion springs
WARNING
EWS00750
The left and right spring preloads must be
adjusted to the same setting. Uneven set-
tings can cause poor handling and loss of
stability.
To increase the spring preload and thereby
harden the suspension, turn the adjuster in di-
rection (a). To decrease the spring preload
and thereby soften the suspension, turn the
adjuster in direction (b).
ESU13290
Adjusting the compression damping
force of the rear shock absorber
The compression damping force can be ad-
justed by turning the adjusting knob.
To increase the compression damping force,
turn the adjusting knob in direction (a). To de-
crease the compression damping force, turn
the adjusting knob in direction (b).
NOTICE:
Do not continue to turn the adjusting knob
in direction (a) after it stops. The shock ab-
sorber could be damaged and damping
force adjustments will not be able to be
made. Do not turn the adjusting knob in di-
rection (b) more than 12 click(s). Even if
the adjusting knob is continually turned
after 12 click(s), there will be no change in
the damping force. Be sure to stop the ad-
justing knob at a position where there is a
click.

The left and right adjusting nuts must be
set to the same position. Uneven settings
can cause poor handling and loss of sta-
bility.
The weight transfer can be adjusted by turn-
ing the adjusting nuts on the control rods.
