Always adjust the shock absorber settings in sequence (1-2-3-4-5 or 5-4-3-2-1).
Trying to install directly from position 1 to position 5 or vice versa may damage the shock absorber. Position 1 corresponds to light load and is intended for driving on level surfaces. Positions 3 to 5 increase spring precompression to increase rear suspension stiffness and can be used when the motorcycle is heavily loaded. Both shock absorbers must be set to the same stiffness value.
Nominal adjustment position: 2.
