Shock absorber adjustment
The rear shock absorber must be adjusted according to the rider weight and the
road conditions. IT is possible to adjust the shock absorber acting on the spring
pre-load according to the rider weight.
The shock absorber adjustment affects both the stability and the
handling of the motorcycle. After changing the standard suspension
setting, ride with care. Before making any change, we recommend

and front wheel raised off the ground.
