Rear shock absorber adjusters
The rear shock absorber has external adjusters that
enable you to adjust the setting to suit the load on
the motorcycle. Knob (1) located on the expansion
reservoir adjusts the damping during the
compression phase.
Knob (3) located on the upper connection holding
the shock absorber to the engine, adjusts the
damping during the rebound phase (return).
Turn knob (1) clockwise to stiffen the damping, or
counter clockwise to soften it.
Turn knob (3) counter clockwise to stiffen the
damping, or clockwise to soften it.
The two ring nuts (2), located in the shock absorber
lower side, adjust the external spring preload.
To change spring preload, slacken the lower locking
ring nut. Then TIGHTEN or SLACKEN the upper ring
nut to INCREASE or DECREASE spring preload.
After setting spring preload as desired, tighten the
lower locking ring nut.
STANDARD setting from the fully closed position:
●
rebound: loosen adjuster (3) by 14 clicks (from
fully closed position);
●
compression: loosen adjuster (1) by 12 clicks
(from fully closed position);
