SETTING OF SPRING AFTER REPLACE-
MENT
As the front fork setting can be easily affected
by the rear suspension, take care so that the
front and the rear are balanced (in position etc.)
when setting the front fork.
1. Use of soft spring
• Change the rebound damping force.
Turn out one or two clicks.
• Change the compression damping force.
Turn in one or two clicks.
TIP
Generally a soft spring gives a soft riding feel-
ing. Rebound damping tends to become stron-
ger and the front fork may sink deeply over a
series of gaps.
2. Use of stiff spring
• Change the rebound damping force.
Turn in one or two clicks.
• Change the compression damping force.
Turn out one or two clicks.
TIP
Generally a stiff spring gives a stiff riding feel-
ing. Rebound damping tends to become weak-
er, resulting in lack of a sense of contact with
the road surface or in a vibrating handlebar.

• Front fork spring “1”
*Except for USA and CAN
TIP
The I.D. mark (slits) “a” is proved on the end of
the spring.
EAS1SL1373REAR SUSPENSION SETTING
The rear shock absorber setting should be
made depending on the rider's feeling of an ac
-
tual run and the circuit conditions.
The rear suspension setting includes the fol-
lowing two factors:
1. Setting of spring preload
• Change the set length of the spring.
• Change the spring.
2. Setting of damping force
• Change the rebound damping force.
• Change the compression damping force.
EAS1SL1374CHOOSING SET LENGTH
1. Place a stand or a block under the engine to
put the rear wheel above the floor, and mea
-
sure the length “a” between the rear wheel
axle center and the rear fender holding bolt.

2. Remove the stand or block from the engine
and, with a rider astride the seat, measure
the sunken length “b” between the rear
wheel axle center and the rear fender hold
-
ing bolt.
3. Loosen the locknut “1” and make adjustment
by turning the adjuster “2” to achieve the
standard figure from the subtraction of the
length “b” from the length “a.”
TIP
• If the machine is new and after it is broken in,
the same set length of the spring may change
because of the initial fatigue, etc. of the
spring. Therefore, be sure to make reevalua
-
tion.
• If the standard figure cannot be achieved by
adjusting the adjuster and changing the set
length, replace the spring with an optional one
and make readjustment.
EAS1SL1375
SETTING OF SPRING AFTER REPLACE-
MENT
After replacement, be sure to adjust the spring
to the set length [sunken length 90–100 mm
(3.5–3.9 in)] and set it.
1. Use of soft spring
• Adjust to decrease rebound damping force
to compensate for less spring load. Run with
the rebound damping force adjuster one or
two clicks turned out, and readjust it to suit
your preference.
2. Use of stiff spring
• Adjust to increase rebound damping force to
compensate for greater spring load. Run
with the rebound damping force adjuster
one or two clicks turned in, and readjust it to
suit your preference.
TIP
Adjusting the rebound damping force will be fol-
lowed more or less by a change in the com-
pression damping force. For correction, adjust
to decrease compression damping force.
EWA1DX4002
WARNING
When using a rear shock absorber other
than currently installed, use the one whose
overall length “a” does not exceed the stan
-
dard as it may result in faulty performance.
Never use one whose overall length is
greater than standard.

TIP
• If any of the following symptoms is experienced with the standard position as the base, make reset-
ting by reference to the adjustment procedure given in the same chart.
• Before any change, set the rear shock absorber sunken length to the standard figure 90–100 mm
(3.5–3.9 in).
