Raise the rear part of the motorcycle by using the
handle and the passenger footrest, until the full exten-
sion of the rear shock absorber is reached; contempo-
raneously measure the distance X

between the upper
extremity of the rear stand and the point on the setting-
up arm.
Two persons must carry out this opera-
tion.
Calculate the static slack
∆
according to this formula:
∆
= X
2 –
X
1
The value of the static slack should be equal to:
−
BRUTALE ORO / S (MY 03):
∆
= 22 mm
−
BRUTALE S (MY 04):
∆
= 25 mm
If the static slack value
∆
is different from the indicated
value, it is necessary to effectuate the following adjust-
ment to the shock absorber spring.
Slacken the upper lock ring of the rear shock absorber,
rotating it in the direction indicated in the figure by uti-
lising a 75 mm key spanner.
Rotate the lower lock ring as shown in the figure, either
in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction, according to
the static slack
∆
value calculated.
