Maintenance operations
Standard
setting:
from the fully closed position (clockwise) turn out the adjuster (1) by
18
clicks.
To change spring preload, slacken the upper ring nut (2) with a pin wrench. Tighten or slacken the lower ring nut (3)
to increase or decrease preload.
Warning
Use the special wrench only to turn the ring nut for preload adjustment. When applying pressure to the wrench,
ensure that wrench pin does not slip out suddenly from the slots in the ring nut. This could cause minor injuries to
your hands. Do not use wrenches which are too small or have short handles.
Standard
spring length:
157
mm.
Warning
The shock absorber is filled with high-pressure gas and might cause injuries if inexpertly dismantled.
Caution
When carrying a passenger and a load, set maximum spring preload for improved handling and to keep safe ground
clearance. Set rebound damping accordingly.
