DANGER
Do not remove the plug (4) for any reason. Do not
tamper with the valve. Doing either of these things
will destroy the function of shock absorber which
can lead to an unstable, unsteady ride, with
subsequent upset, accident and serious injury or
even death. Observe the instructions above. Never
ride your motorcycle with a defective or improperly
adjusted rear shock absorber.

2.31.3 CHECKING THE REAR SUSPENSION
LINKAGE
Carefully read 1.3.9 (PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
INFORMATION).
Check the condition of the bearings every 30,000 km
(18,750 mi).
NOTE
Ask someone to help you hold the vehicle
upright.
Firmly grasp the rear of the vehicle, press downward
and release several times.
If the movement is not smooth and is accompanied by
creaking, and/or if you notice any play, replace the
bearings of the rear suspension linkage, see 7.10.2
(DISASSEMBLING THE REAR SUSPENSION
LINKAGE).
If, after you pressed the vehicle downwards, it returns
to its original position very slowly, check whether the
rear suspension is adjusted correctly, see 2.31.2
(REAR SHOCK ABSORBER ADJUSTMENT).
If the problem persists even after adjusting, it means that
the shock absorber is discharged; you should therefore
recharge it.
