Adjusting the front and rear
suspension
This model is equipped with an elec-
tronically adjustable suspension sys-
tem. The preload of the rear shock
absorber and the damping forces of
both the front fork and rear shock ab-
sorber can be adjusted.
WARNING
EWA12423
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function meter unit. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.
Preload
When riding with luggage or a passen-
ger, use the preload adjusting function
to adjust the suspension system to
match the load. There are 4 preload
settings.
TIP
The preload adjusting function will
appear only when the engine is
running.
Changing the preload setting will
also adjust the front and rear sus-
pension damping forces accord-
ingly. (See page 3-41.)
About cold temperature opera-
tion:
• When using the preload adjust-
ing function, there should be no
weight on the vehicle.
• When using the preload adjust-
ing function at ambient temper-
atures near or below 0 °C (32
°F), the suspension system
warning light may come on.
