REBOUND DAMPER
SETTING THE DEPRESSION OF THE REAR SHOCK
WITH NO LOAD
With the bike on an appropriate stand
Measure the dimension R1 between a fixed point
on the chassis and the rear axle.
With the bike setting on its wheels
Measure the dimension R2 from the same fixed
point on the chassis and the rear axle. The static
deflection is the difference between R1-R2.
Static deflection
30mm
If the static deflection is not correct, adjust the
preload of the shock (

The adjusting screw
1
determines the Shock
rebound behavior. Turning the screw clockwise
increases the hydraulic force (and vice versa).
Turn the screw
1
clockwise to the stop then go
back the number of clicks required.
Rebound damping
Comfort
15 clicks
Standard
13 clicks
Sport
11 clicks
SETTING THE REAR SHOCK SAG
With the rider on the motorcycle
Measure the dimension R3 between the same
fixed point on the chassis and the rear axle. The
sag is the difference between R1-R3.
Sag
95mm à 105mm
If the sag is not correct, change the spring.
