Settings
For full use of engine performance and safe
riding, set the suspension as follows. (Ex-fac-
tory settings are intended for a rider approxi-
mately 170 cm (66.9 in) in height and approxi-
mately 60 kg (132 lb) in weight.)
1. Preparations
To check for the remaining stroke in the
front and rear suspension, either install a
thin insu-lock tie or apply a small amount of
grease at the front fork inner tube and at
the rear shock absorber rod.
2. Settings
At the beginning of the break-in period,
always record the remaining stroke as
data.
To judge front and rear balance in relation
to the machine height, the usual way is to
shift from full braking to turning and get the
feel when the clipper riding.
After making an actual run, proceed to the
settings for a target of a 5~10 mm
(0.20~0.39 in) remaining stroke for front
and a 10 ~ 20 mm (0.39~0.79 in) remain-
ing stroke for rear.
Basically, the best settings can be obtained
by repeating the following steps.
NOTE:
The figures show the bottom-out positions of
the front and rear suspension.
