Shock absorber adjustment
The rear shock absorber must be adjusted to suit rider weight and terrain condi-
tions.
Proceed as follows:
1. Place the motorcycle on the stand and measure distance (A).
2. Sit on the motorcycle in normal riding position with full riding gear on.
3. Have someone else measure distance (A) again.
4. The difference between these two measurements is the distance the rear end
settles when the rider sits on the motorcycle (RIDER SAG). Recommended
rider sag is 100 mm with a cold shock absorber and 95 mm with a warm
shock absorber.
5. To achieve correct rider sag for your weight, adjust the spring preload of the
shock absorber (see relevant paragraph).
The shock absorber adjustment affects both the stability and the
handling of the motorcycle. After changing the standard suspension
setting, ride with care.
B: panel retaining screw axis
C: rear wheel axle height
