The saddle tilt must be adjusted to prevent your weight being supported on the
handlebars. The optimum saddle position is horizontal.
1. Loosen the saddle clamp bolt(s) under the saddle.
2. Adjust the saddle tilt. Ensure that the tilt angle adjustment mechanism is correctly
locked in place.
3. Tighten the saddle clamp bolt(s) by screwing clockwise, using the recommended
torque.
x If you lack the necessary expertise and the tools required, have the saddle tilt
adjusted by your dealer.

between the saddle and handlebars can be increased or decreased by moving the
saddle horizontally.
1. Loosen the saddle clamp bolt(s) under the saddle.
2. Adjust the reach. When doing so, observe the clamping range which is generally
marked on the saddle rails.
x To shorten the reach, push the saddle towards the handlebars.
x To lengthen the reach, push the saddle towards the rear wheel.
3. Tighten the saddle clamp bolt(s) by screwing clockwise, using the recommended
torque.

by your dealer.
