On the Enertia, the front suspension (forks) are not adjustable.
The rear monoshock is adjustable:
On the rear monoshock, you can adjust spring preload, compression damping, and rebound characteristics.
A) Spring Preload Ring (located to the left of the spring in the picture, above.)
Turn the preload ring counterclockwise to decrease the preload, clockwise to increase the preload.
To adjust to standard position:
1. Raise the rear wheel off the ground using a safety stand or a hoist.
2. Loosen the 3mm set screw. (on the Spring Preload Ring).
3. Turn the preload ring counterclockwise until spring is loose.
4. Turn the preload ring clockwise 4 turns.
5. Tighten the 3mm set screw to lock the preload ring.
B) Compression Damping Knob (located at the top of the cylinder in the picture, above.)
Turn counterclockwise to reduce compression damping, clockwise to increase compression damping.
To adjust to standard position:
1. Turn clockwise until it will no longer turn (lightly seats).
2. Turn counterclockwise ½ turn.
C) Rebound Damping Screw (located at the other end of the spring from the Preload Damping Ring).
Turn counterclockwise to reduce Rebound Damping, clockwise to increase Rebound Damping.
To adjust to standard position:
1. Turn clockwise until it will no longer turn (lightly seats).
2. Turn counterclockwise 10 “clicks”.
Note: According to the page 57 of the 2010 Enertia Owner's Manual, "The rear shock is charged at the factory with a small amount of nitrogen. If you attempt to check the pressure, all of the nitrogen will escape resulting in the shock not operating properly."
