Shock absorber adjusters
(fig. 46.1 and
fig. 46.2)
The shock absorber has outer adjusters that enable you to
adjust your motorcycle to the load.
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 expansion reservoir
controls compression damping.
Turn the adjusters (1 and 2) clockwise to stiffen the
damping or anti-clockwise to soften it.
