How to adjust the rear shock absorber of Haojue USR125?
2 Answers
Generally, the rear shock absorbers of cross motorcycles have five adjustable levels. You can adjust the stiffness using a specialized hook wrench or a screwdriver. The more the spring is tightened, the stiffer the shock absorber becomes, and vice versa. More details about the Haojue USR125: 1. Power: The Haojue USR125 is equipped with an ESS engine, with a maximum power of 6.6kW/7500rpm and a maximum torque of 10N.m/5000rpm, and an actual displacement of 124cc. 2. Appearance: The front face adopts a symmetrical design approach, with a black "Y"-shaped trim piece as the dividing line, silver trim pieces spliced above, and side panels shaped like sharp blades, giving it a dynamic look. The rear light cluster uses LED lighting, with the turn signals, taillights, and brake lights arranged in an "A" shape.
I've been riding the Haojue USR125 for several years and found that adjusting the rear shock absorber is quite straightforward, but requires careful operation. First, locate the preload ring at the bottom of the shock spring, which usually has serrated notches, and slowly turn it with a specialized wrench (like a C-spanner) – clockwise to tighten, counterclockwise to loosen. Remember to adjust according to your weight and load: I prefer tightening it a bit for better control on mountain roads, while loosening it makes city riding more comfortable. Don’t apply excessive force to avoid damaging the spring. It’s recommended to start from the middle position, take a few test rides, and fine-tune based on the ride’s stability. Ensure the bike is parked on level ground during adjustment, and having a friend assist for safety is ideal. Also, if you notice oil leaks or unusual noises from the shock, don’t force adjustments—head to a repair shop immediately. Regular checks can extend the shock absorber’s lifespan. In short, reading the manual before tinkering is the safest bet to avoid mishaps.
