Rear shock absorber adjusters
Supersport S
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 adjust the spring preload, loosen the bottom ring
nut. Screwing or unscrewing the top ring nut will
increase or decrease the preload.
Once the spring preload is set, tighten the bottom
ring nut.
