Adjusting the rear ride height
(fig. 47, fig. 48
and fig. 49)
The standard ride height setting is the result of rigorous
testing carried out in a wide variety of conditions by our
technical staff.
Modifying the the ride height is a very critical operation, and
can be dangerous if carried out by untrained persons.
Before changing the standard setting, measure the
reference value (H, fig. 47).
The rider can adjust the rear ride height to suit his/her needs
by changing the working position of the rear shock absorber.
To alter the eye to eye length of the tie-rod (1), slacken the
locknuts (3).
Notes
Note that the lower nut (3) has a left-hand thread.
Use an open-end wrench on the flats (4) of the tie-rod (2).
Once the tie-rod length is adjusted correctly, tighten the
nuts (3) to 25 Nm.
Warning
The length of the tie-rod (2) between the centres of
the two eyes (1) should not exceed 285 mm.
