Rear shock absorber adjusters
(fig. 44)
The shock absorber has external adjusters that enable you to
adjust the suspension to suit the load on the motorcycle.
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.
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 2 turns;
adjuster (2) by 2 turns.
Spring preload: 20 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.
