Rear shock absorber adjusters
Rear shock absorbers feature spring preload, rebound and
compression damping adjusters.
The adjuster (1, fig. 26) on the shock absorber expansion
reservoir - LH side of the frame - controls compression
damping.
The adjuster (2, fig. 25) on the left of the connection holding
the shock absorber to the swingarm controls rebound
damping.
Turn the adjusters (1 and 2) clockwise to increase damping.
Two ring nuts (3, fig. 26) located on the top section of the
shock absorber are used to adjust the outer spring preload.
To change spring preload, slacken the upper ring nut. Then
tighten
or
slacken
the lower ring to
increase
or
decrease
spring preload. Once preload has been set as required,
tighten the upper ring nut.
Warning
Use a specific pin wrench to turn the preload adjusting
nut. Be careful when turning the nut with the wrench, as the
pin may slip out of the ring nut recess and you may hurt your
hand hitting motorcycle parts.
