Shock absorber adjusters
The shock absorber has outer adjusters that enable you to
adjust your motorcycle to the load.
The adjuster (1) located on the left side, on the connection
holding the shock absorber to the swingarm, controls
rebound damping.
The adjuster (2) on the shock absorber expansion reservoir
controls compression damping.
Turn the adjusters (1 and 2) clockwise to increase
damping, anticlockwise to reduce it.
STANDARD setting:
turn the adjusters (1 and 2) all the way in (clockwise) then
slacken them 14 clicks.
Two ring nuts (3), located on the top section of the shock
absorber are used to adjust the outer spring preload.
To change spring preload, turn the upper ring nut.
Then
tighten
or
slacken
the lower ring nut to
increase
or
decrease
spring preload as required.
Warning
Use a specific pin wrench only to turn the preload
adjusting nut. Be careful when turning the nut to avoid
hurting your hand hitting motorcycle parts. The pin may
slip out of the nut recess while carrying out such
operation.
Warning
The shock absorber is filled with gas under pressure
and may cause severe damage if taken apart by unskilled
persons.
