SUSPENSION SYSTEM
A
HARD
Caution: Do not over-compress the suspension springs as it can lead to discomfort and instability. Damping will be reduced
considerably and affect the handling of your vehicle. Adjust the rear shock absorber to a higher setting when
carrying a passenger. Allowing the suspension to "bottom out" will damage the shock absorbers and fittings.
TURN SIGNALS, FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS AND HORN
Before riding your vehicle, turn the ignition to "ON"
• Turn on your left and right signal switch and make sure both front and rear turn signal lights are in working order.
• Inspect your Headlamp low and high beam is in working order
• Inspect your brake lights by depressing the front and rear brake levers to ensure both are in working order
• Inspect the light covers for cracks and clean any dirt that may cover the visibility of the light signal.
• Press the horn button to make sure the horn is working.
Caution: Use your turn signal indicators before turning or switching lanes to warn other road users of your intentions. Slow
down by lightly depressing your brake lever to activate your brake lights to warn other drivers you are slowing or
stopping your vehicle. Practise safe riding at all times.

ADJUSTMENT
Your AD3 uses Three Adjustable Shock Absorbers. One in the
front and Two in the rear. The absorbers have been factory set
to provide sufficient damping for an average rider without
passenger (approx 80kg).
Should you require hardening the suspension, use the
suspension adjustment tools provided and make necessary
adjustments. However, do not over tighten the springs as it may
cause instability and discomfort while riding.
The front suspension requires the outer retaining ring (A) to be
loosened before making the adjustment (B).
Rear Suspension is a 5 step compression(C) of the spring.
HARD
Ensure that both left and right rear suspension are the same
settings.
If you are not familiar with the settings, consult your ADIVA
dealer for assistance.
