ADJUSTMENT
The basic setting of the suspension is done by
FANTIC MOTOR . If different use is required, the
setting may be customised in compliance with
data given in the SETTINGS TABLE.
It is advisable to wait for the engine to be
completely cold before making changes.
Adjust the spring preload according to the condi-
tions of use of the vehicle.
Do not force rotation of the adjusting devices
beyond the limit (in either direction) to avoid
possible damage.
The settings for racing use are recommended at
the time of organised competitions or sporting
events to be held on circuits cut off from road
traffic and with the approval of the authorities
having jurisdiction.
NOTE: the ring nut (2) adjustment requires re-
moval of the air manifold and use of a specific
pin wrench.
- Loosen the counter-ring nut (2) using a hook
wrench or aluminium turning pin.
- Turn the adjusting ring nut (1) to the required
position in relation to your weight and riding
style, see SETTINGS TABLE.
- Tighten the counter-ring nut (2) (torque
wrench setting of 5 kgm).
SETTINGS TABLE
ADJUSTMENT OF HYDRAULIC rebound
The damper or shock absorber can be adjusted
for the rebound by acting on the lower part
where there is an adjusting ring nut.
- Standard setting: 8 clicks from fully closed
To restore the standard setting, turn the adjust-
ing ring nut in the direction (+) until reaching the

Suspensions
(models Regolarità Competizione
and SuperSei Competizione)
FRONT-WHEEL SUSPENSION
A fork is mounted by the manufacturer on these
models that envisages two types of adjustment.
At the time the vehicle is sold the adjustment is
naturally standard. This setting may, however, be
changed according to personal preferences and
to the type of road surface.
Adjustment is not complicated but if you are
not sure of correct procedures, it is best to go to
a Dealer and ask them to carry out the adjust-
ment.
COMPRESSION (ADJUSTING DEVICE C)
Standard setting: fully closed – 1,5 turns.
To restore the standard setting, turn the adjust-
ing device (C) clockwise as far as the fully closed
position and then turn back for the number of
turns indicated above.
