Adjusting Suspension

Hey guys.
I need to make some major adjustments to my suspension and I no longer have a manual to aid me.
Anyone know of a guide or a howto one adjusting the suspension on my 02 954. Or any advice in general as I have never adjusted suspension on a motorcycle before.
Its all way to stiff ( the previous owner had it lowered )

Re: Adjusting Suspension

Pick up a copy of "Total Control" by Lee Parks. It has 2 chapters on suspension and breaks it down incredibly well and relates it directly to riding so you can dial it in to your riding style and wieght. (Not to mention the great riding skills offered) Total Control Advanced Riding Clinic The Total Control Advanced Riding Clinic actual teaches a section on suspension that will give you this information and teach you how and what to adjust and more importantly....Why.
