This is the total length of your spring from end to end. Make sure when you measure that the rear wheels are elevated off the ground by placing a stand under the frame(but not on the swingarm). First you loosen the locknut then turn the adjusting ring counter clockwise to increase preload or counter clockwise to decrease preload. The length of the spring changes 1.5mm (0.06 in ) per turn of the adjuster.
