Suspension Setting Chart - Speed Triple S
Warning
Make sure that the correct balance be-
tween front and rear suspension is
maintained.
Suspension imbalance could signifi-
cantly change handling characteristics
leading to loss of control and an acci-
dent.
Refer to the chart below for further in-
formation or consult your dealer.
Warning
Make sure that the adjusters are set
to the same setting on both forks.
Settings which vary from left to right
could significantly change handling
characteristics leading to loss of con-
trol and an accident.
The standard suspension settings provide a comfortable ride and good handling
characteristics for general, solo riding. The chart shows suggested settings for the
front and rear suspension.
