2.17.2. REAR
SUSPENSION
Read
carefully
.
The rear suspension is managed by a spring/damper unit that is
connected to the frame and to the rear swinging arm through
silent-blocks and a linkage system, respectively. To modify
vehicle response, the rear shock absorber is fitted with an
adjuster nut (1) which controls spring preload (2).
NOTE
Vehicle geometry may be varied to meet rider’s
preferences by changing front ride height.

REAR SHOCK ABSORBER ADJUSTMENT
Factory setting is designed to suit the broadest possible range of
riding conditions, meaning low and high speed, whether riding
solo or carrying a full load.
However, rear suspension setting may be modified to suit
specific needs in accordance with vehicle usage.
DANGER
Allow the engine and silencer to cool down
completely before working the adjusters.
Never tighten the adjuster nut any deeper
than 25 mm from the beginning of the thread
(see figure). Exceeding this dimension will
result in sudden jerking whenever you come
across any small changes in the road
surface.
Work the adjuster nut (1) (shock absorber spring preload
adjustment) (see table).
WARNING
Rotate the adjuster nut (1) gradually one turn at a
time.
Test ride the motorcycle repeatedly until
achieving the ideal setting.
