The rear suspension consists of a pair of
spring-shock absorber units, fixed to the
rear fork by means of silent-blocks.
The shock absorbers are provided with a
metal ring with five positions, for the adjust-
ment of the spring preload.
The standard adjustment, set by the manu-
facturer, is suitable for a driver weighing
about 70 kg.
If your weight and needs are different, act
on the metal ring (1) with the apposite
spanner, thus setting the ideal travelling
conditions (see table 1).
It is also possible to adjust the attitude of
the vehicle, by moving the shock absorber
in the desired position (see table 2).
