I had my dealer adjust the preload, which took all of 30 sec. and cost me nothing. This was the dealer I bought the bike from new, so happy me.

i did want to comment on the stock suspension, feels soft the way thebike was set up from Honda. Adjusting the preload seemed to help greatly. There is a trade off as the ride is a lot harsher on your bones.

I want to upgrade my suspension to Nitron shocks, front and rear.
