Rear shock absorber adjusters
(fig. 48)
The shock absorber has external adjusters that enable you to
adjust the suspension to suit the load on the motorcycle.
The two adjusters on the shock absorber reservoir serve
to adjust the compression damping (1 – gold) and the
rebound damping (2 - black).
Turn the adjusters (1 and 2) clockwise to stiffen the
damping or anti-clockwise to soften it.
STANDARD setting:
from the fully closed position (turned fully clockwise), unscrew:
adjuster (1) by 14 clicks;
adjuster (2) by 14 clicks.
Spring preload: 19 mm.
The two nuts (3) on the upper part of the shock absorber
serve to adjust the preload on the external spring. To
change spring preload, slacken off the upper lock nut.
Then
tighten
or
loosen
the lower nut to
increase
or
decrease
spring preload as required.
