Rear suspension
The rear suspension consists in a fully adjustable hydraulic shock absorber (6) with progressive actuation. This
system consists of an upper rocker arm (1) and a non adjustable linkage (15) secured to the single-sided swingarm.
The swingarm is linked to frame and engine for maximum stiffness and carries the chain tensioners for chain tension
adjustment at the rear end.
For monoshock absorber adjustment please refer to Sect. D 4,
Adjusting the rear shock absorber
.
Removing the monoshock absorber
Remove the seat (Sect. E 3,
Unscrew the upper screw (5) and the lower screw (11) and slide the rear shock absorber off the swingarm and the
upper rocker arm.
When the lower screw (11) is removed, the lower ball joint (13) of the linkage (15) - and the linkage with it - are
released from the swingarm. Keep the threaded bushing (
12
) and the bushes (4) placed at the sides of the lower
linkage ball joint (13) and collect the ball joint.
