To verify the static sag of the shock ab-
sorber proceed as follows:
- Place the motorcycle on the work stand.
- Measure the vertical distance between
the rear wheel axle and a reference point
on the rear fairings.
- Write down the dimension H
1
.
- Remove the work stand.
- Keep the motorcycle in vertical position
and measure again the distance between
the wheel axle and the reference point
previously established.
- Write down the dimension H
2
.
