and service instructions. If you do not have the
manufacturer’s instructions, see your dealer or contact
the manufacturer.
F) BICYCLE SUSPENSION
Many bicycles are equipped with suspension systems. There
are many different types of suspension systems — too many
to deal with individually in this Manual. If your bicycle has a
suspension system of any kind, be sure to read and follow
the suspension manufacturer’s setup and service instruc-
tions. If you do not have the manufacturers instructions,
see your dealer or contact the manufacturer.
WARNING: Failure to maintain, check and properly
adjust the suspension system may result in suspension
malfunction, which may cause you to lose control and
fall.
If your bike has suspension, the increased speed you may de-
velop also increases your risk of injury. For example, when brak-
ing, the front of a suspended bike dips. You could lose control
and fall if you do not have experience with this system. Learn to
handle your suspension system safely [see also Section 4.C].
WARNING: Changing suspension adjustment can
change the handling and braking characteristics of your
bicycle. Never change suspension adjustment unless
you are thoroughly familiar with the suspension system
manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations, and
always check for changes in the handling and braking
characteristics of the bicycle after a suspension adjust-
ment by taking a careful test ride in a hazard-free area.
Suspension can increase control and comfort by allowing the
wheels to better follow the terrain. This enhanced capability
may allow you to ride faster; but you must not confuse the
enhanced capabilities of the bicycle with your own capabili-

only engage or disengage with a very specic motion
which must be practiced until it becomes instinctive.
Clipless pedals require shoes and cleats which are
compatible with the make and model pedal being used.
Please note: Kona bicycles do not arrive with
clipless pedals, however we are aware that many
of our customers choose to use them, and it is not
outside the intent of the bicycle.
However, please note that if you choose to use
clipless pedals, it is your own decision and you
accept the additional inherent risks involved and
associated with riding with clipless pedals.
Many clipless pedals are designed to allow the rider
to adjust the amount of force needed to engage or
disengage the foot. Follow the pedal manufacturers
instructions, or ask your dealer to show you how to make
this adjustment. Use the easiest setting until engaging
and disengaging becomes a reex action, but always
make sure that there is sufcient tension to prevent
unintended release of your foot from the pedal.
WARNING: Clipless pedals are intended for use
with shoes specically made to t them and are
designed to rmly keep the foot engaged with the
pedal. Do not use shoes which do not engage the
pedals correctly.
Practice is required to learn to engage and disengage
the foot safely. Until engaging and disengaging the
foot becomes a reex action, the technique requires
concentration which can distract the rider’s attention,
causing the rider to lose control and fall. Practice
engaging and disengaging clipless pedals in a place
where there are no obstacles, hazards or trafc; and
be sure to follow the pedal manufacturer’s setup
