SUSPENSIONS AND WHEELS
PRE-LOAD SPRING ADJUSTMENT
After reinstalling the rear shock absorber, adjust the length as
indicated in the figure:
• Slacken the upper ring nut 1.
• Screw or unscrew the ring nut 2 until the standard length is reached.
Standard length: 180 [mm].
The shock absorber contains pressurised gas and must not
be opened for any reason.
When reassembling, follow the removal procedure in reverse order.
Tighten the three nuts 1, 2 and 3 to the torque pressure of 39,2÷44,1
N·m.
SHOCK ABSORBER HYDRAULIC BRAKE SETTING
EXTENSION – standard calibration: 20 clicks from the closed position
(adjuster completely screwed in).
There are 34 positions available of the lower adjuster
1. To obtain reduced braking in respect of the standard position (softer
suspension), unscrew the adjuster 1 (maximum of 14 clicks). To
obtain greater braking in respect of the standard position (harder
suspension), screw in the adjuster 1 (maximum of 20 clicks).
To restore the standard calibration, completely screw in the adjuster
1 and unscrew 20 clicks.
The standard calibration is optimum for use with rider and passenger
and under normal road conditions.
Different calibrations are for personal riding needs and as well as
load conditions and road conditions.
REMOVAL/CHECK OF THE REAR WHEEL

others. Proceed as follows:
• Remove the lower shock absorber fixing nuts as described in the
preceding paragraphs.
• Remove the nut 3 as shown in the figure, extract the spindle from
the opposite side. Remove the compensator assembly 4.
