The reason they say adjusting directly from 1 to 5 can cause damage is it is too large a jump. To adjust from 1 to 5, go 1-2-3-4-5, in that direction. Not the direct 1-5 opposite direction.

What they mean by 1-5 is that 1 to 5 is a big (4 points) difference and will compress/decompress the metal too suddenly without allowing it to tolerate and get adjusted to the new load settings. This big of a jump can damage the suspension spring as it will strain the spring suddenly. So the adjustments should be made in steps such as 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5 and vice versa giving it enough time (a few hours) in each setting to be able to adjust itself.

Just adjusted mine on the cruiser a few days ago. It was on 3. I cranked it down to 1 as I am not all that heavy and the roads I ride are smooth. Made a difference for me. However, should I take on a passenger, I will adjust my tire pressure and suspension according to the manual. Thanks for another great vid. I always look forward to them.

It says in the manual: "Always adjust the shock absorber position in sequence (1-2-3-4-5 or 5-4-3-2-1). Attempting to adjust directly from 1 to 5 or 5 to 1 may damage the shock absorber." What they are saying is don't wrap around because it's shorter, only go to the next highest or lowest number. If your shock is at 5 going to 1 or vice versa won't do any harm as long as you do it the right way.

A good amount of sag for street is around 35mm. Find two points to measure from that will increase as all weight is taken off the swing arm, have someone lift the rear to take all the weight off the swing arm, measure your two points, lower the bike, sit on it and bounce to settle the shock, measure your same two points. Tighten the shock if you drop too much, loosen it if you drop too little.
Thanks! Also, make sure that you adjust the travel along with your rear tire pressure should you decide to take a passenger or do some light touring with luggage on the bike. With the addition of front spring preload adjusters, you can repeat the same procedure on the forks. I'd really suggest looking into them, as at least to me, the CBR250R is pretty squishy in the front end.

They did not supply that Wrench/spanner with the bike though. i got it from other user and lowered the spring. i mean changed to setting 1. I feel my bike is soft now (minor difference). My bike has only 3 settings. 1Soft, 2 standard, 3 Hard. i never put extra load on my bike. 98% times its a single ride only. so, its work for me.

@christiandupree8963

Depends on your weight. If you set it real soft, the forks are gonna be longer (or higher rear) at static (no rider) that means the bike, pre-mounting, will be higher up. When you mount it, however, the travel distance pre-mounting to post-mounting will be more. When suspension is hard, basically the suspension is already tightened up like you’re sitting on it, so it’s holding it down more without your weight, but is a lot more sturdy and less springy. FYI your question applies more to forks than rear shocks since generally speaking forks move more and carry more weight under load (braking, turning, etc) :) hope this helps

Good vid again, the annotation link share didn't seem to work. Most manuals have a recommended setting for single and with passenger settings for a person of average weight (though no idea what they consider average). My bike has a page that has a table for all different recommended settings in the manual. A bit about performance and suspension settings. Many people think stiffer is better for performance. While this is true on a smooth racetrack, cranking it up for a firm/sporty ride can make for worse or less reliable performance. Too stiff, and your tire just bounces the whole vehicle off the ground instead of dampening the bumps. Result, if you got a bit of roughness in the road, you will get that "skittery" feeling. For some reason, people combine this with high tire pressure for even more "handling" Which is a potential for another video. Tires! In the case of tires, most manufacturers have a pressure range they recommend. Thing is, the tires are the suspension for all your "unsprung" weight. So if you have a high pressure, then the unsprung components are more likely to bounce as well. All combined, This is why on our beautiful sask highways, typically have more control and performance with my nighthawk than some sport bikes have when on our rough and bumpy pavements. Dampen the bump, not jump the bump!

@Randymanrockssocks

Unfortunately this method of adjustment will not help you, the easiest adjustment for you to make to correct your seating angle is to raise your triple tree height on the forks. Simply support the weight of your bike from a centerpoint, loosen the clamps, and pull your bike further up the forks. Keep in mind that this will drastically alter the geometries of your bike, increasing your rake and thereby reducing your turn in ability, but may in fact increase your stability mid-corner. When making adjustments of this sort it is very important to make only small changes, and to take a period of time to get used to the effects.
