Rear shock absorber adjusters
The shock absorber has external adjusters that enable you to
adjust the suspension to suit the motorcycle set up.
Adjuster (1), located on the left-hand side at the point at
which the shock absorber is fixed to the swingarm, controls
rebound damping.
The adjuster (2) on the shock absorber reservoir controls
compression damping.
Turning the adjusters (1 and 2) clockwise gives harder
damping, turning anticlockwise gives softer damping.
STANDARD setting:
from the fully closed position (turned fully clockwise),
unscrew:
shim (1) by 2 laps
shim (2) by 2 laps
Spring preload: 20 mm.
Two ring nuts (3) located on the top section of the shock
absorber are used to adjust the outer spring preload.
To change spring preload, slacken off the upper ring nut.
Then TIGHTEN or SLACKEN the lower ring nut to INCREASE
or DECREASE spring preload.
