THE PERFECT FIT
Rear Suspension Adjustments
Initial Spring Preload Setting (Sag Method)
To set up the rear suspension tor-
sion spring preload, measure the
distance between the ground and
rear bumper. This is measurement
X.
Take the first measurement with no
rider and with the rear suspension at
full extension. The rear bumper
may need to be lifted upward
slightly to fully extend the rear sus-
pension.
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 measure-
ment X. This is measurement Y.
