counterclockwise until the preload ring is not touching the spring. Now turn the

preload ring until it firmly contacts the coil spring but does not compress it. This

is your starting point for adjustment. Now turn clockwise per the chart, Fig. 13.

wrench to engage the preload

adjusting screw. Turn the screw

clockwise to increase preload,

resulting in a higher spring rate and

less sag. Turn the screw

counterclockwise to reduce

preload, resulting in a lower spring

rate and more sag. See Fig. 10.

The preload screw puts pressure

on the spring. Turn the screw

counterclockwise to the point where you feel that the screw is not compressing

the spring. This is your starting point for adjustment. Now count turns clockwise

per the chart, Fig. 13. After adjustment is made, reinstall the stem extension

tube, making sure that it is seated flush against the headset seal with the bolts

on the left side. Torque to 77-94 In-

Lbs (8.7-10.6 Nm). See Fig. 11.

WARNING:WARNING:Do not use the

stem extension tube to

adjust handlebar height.

The stem extension tube

must always be clamped in

place fully seated against

the headset top seal with

the bolts on the left side. If

the stem extension tube is not properly clamped, it may

break with risk of serious injury to the rider.

The rear suspension uses a coil-

over shock, meaning that a steel

coil spring surrounds the oil

damper, also known as a shock

absorber. To adjust the rear

suspension spring preload, you will

turn the spring preload ring. Turning

the ring clockwise increases

preload, resulting in a higher spring

rate and less sag. Turning the ring counterclockwise decreases preload,

resulting in a lower spring rate and more sag. See Fig. 12.

With the rear wheel off the ground, turn the spring and preload ring

Approximate number of turns of spring preload required for the

recommended 40% sag (About 25mm sag front and 30mm sag rear).

Note: this will vary with rider height due to change in weight distribution.

This is a very soft & compliant setup for use on uneven surfaces - riders on

smooth roads may favor a harder suspension set up. If so, increase the number

of turns of spring preload.
