5.9 ADJUSTING REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS
•
The shock absorbers are equipped with a spring preload ring
nut, with which it is possible to adjust the vehicle’s behaviour
depending on the load carried, how the vehicle is driven and
where.
•
The adjustment is carried out using the wrench supplied, by
acting on the ring nut located in the bottom section of the shock
absorbers (Fig. 35); turn it clockwise to increase the spring
preload (heavier load).
There are four adjustment positions:
1) Position one: driver only
2) Position two: driver and luggage case
3) Position three: driver, passenger
4) Position four: driver, passenger and luggage case.
Adjust both shock absorbers according to the same ad-
justment index. An unbalanced adjustment may com-
promise the vehicle’s stability.
While riding with a passenger, preload the shock ab-
sorber spring at position ‘3’.
When adjusting, wear gloves to protect yourself against
scratching.
