Subject: AW: Rear Suspension/Front Light


Hello Steffen,

>>>>>>>>>>
1.Is there any possibility to change the "Vorspannung" of the rear suspension
without taking off the the back wheel at an rd04?

2. I have connected the left front light with the right front light so that
both lights will burn all the time.........

<<<<<<<<<<


Answer to question 1:
Use a big screwdriver and a hamer. Put the screwdriver from the right side onto the top 'counter'-screw and use the hamer to loosen it.
Don't hamer extraordanary hard on the screwdriver !!!
When its loose, use the screwdriver to give the spring more tension in the same way as described above.
After that thighten the 'counter'-screw and you are ready after just 5 minutes.
Done it myself several times.

Answer to question 2:
Put your bike in front of a wall when it's dark outside.
Disconnect the right light by removing the connector from the bulb.
Put on the light(s) and look at the wall.
There you can see the light with also a clear mark off from the pencil (shaft, beam) of light. ( Lichtbündel auf Deutsch )
Then reconnect the right light and look if the pencil of light does change.
My right light has a same pencil of light as the left light it only stood higher. Then just lower it until it is the same.....
Takes about 5 minutes to check and eventualy some minutes if adjusting is required.

Have a nice tour.
