Rear shock absorber adjusters
(fig. 53)
The rear shock absorber has outer adjusters that
enable you to adjust your motorcycle to the load.
The adjuster (1) on the left side of the connection
holding the shock absorber to the swinging arm
controls rebound damping.
The adjuster (2) on the shock absorber expansion
reservoir controls compression damping.
Turning the adjusters (1 and 2) clockwise gives
harder damping, turning anticlockwise gives softer
damping.
STANDARD setting:
from fully closed (clockwise) loosen:
shim (1) by 2 laps
shim (2) by 2 laps
Spring preload: 20 mm.
Two ring nuts (3) located on the top section of the
shock absorber are used to adjust the outer spring
preload. To change spring preload, slacken off the
upper ring nut. Then TIGHTEN or SLACKEN the lower
ring nut to INCREASE or DECREASE spring preload.
