–
For optimal motorcycle riding characteristics and to avoid damage
to forks, shock absorbers, link fork and frame, the basic settings of
the suspension components must match the rider's weight.
–
This vehicle is delivered pre-set for a standard rider's weight (with
full protective clothing).
Guideline
Standard rider weight
75 … 85 kg (165 … 187 lb.)
–
If the rider's weight is above or below this range, the basic setting of
the suspension components must be adjusted accordingly.
–
Small weight differences can be compensated by adjusting the
spring preload, but in the case of large weight differences, the
springs must be replaced.
10.2
Adjusting the rebound damping of the shock absorber
Caution
Risk of injury
Parts of the shock absorber will move around if the shock absorber is detached incorrectly.
The shock absorber is filled with highly compressed nitrogen.
