THE PERFECT FIT

Rear Suspension Adjustments

Initial Spring Preload Setting (Sag Method)

To set up the EDGE RMK rear suspension torsion spring preload, mea-

sure the distance between the ground and rear bumper (see illustration).

This measurement should be taken with no rider and the rear suspension

at full extension. This is measurement X.

Take the first measurement with no rider and with the rear suspension at

full extension.

NOTE: The rear bumper may need to be lifted upward slightly to fully

extend the rear suspension.

Next, have the rider drop down hard on the seat and bounce up and

down several times, collapsing the rear suspension. With the rider

seated, measure the distance between the ground and the rear bumper at

the exact location used for measurement X. This is measurement Y.
