The adjuster (3), located on the expansion reservoir
of the shock absorber, adjusts the damping during
the compression phase.
To carry out the adjustment, remove the rider seat
(Seat lock).
Access adjuster (3) with a screwdriver, from vehicle
LH side, through the space (A) between frame and
electrical components compartment.
Turn adjusters (1) and (3) or knob (2) clockwise or
counter-clockwise respectively to stiffen or soften
the damping or the preload.
Attention
The shock absorber is filled with gas under
pressure and may cause severe damage if taken
apart by unskilled persons.
