Adjusting the rear shock absorber
The rear shock absorber has adjusters that enable
you to suit the setting to the load on the motorcycle.
Adjuster (1) adjusts the damping during the rebound
phase (return).
Turn adjuster (1) clockwise to stiffen the damping, or
counter clockwise to soften it.
The two ring nuts (2), located in the shock absorber
upper side, adjust the external spring preload. To
change spring preload, slacken the upper locking
ring nut.
Then TIGHTEN or SLACKEN the lower ring nut to
INCREASE or DECREASE spring preload.
