Rear shock absorber adjusters
The rear shock absorber has external adjusters that
enable you to adjust the setting to suit the load on the
motorcycle. The adjuster (1) located on the left side,
on the upper connection holding the shock absorber
to the engine, adjusts the damping during the
rebound phase (return).
Turn adjuster (1) clockwise to stiffen the damping, or
counter clockwise to soften it.
Ring nuts (2) and (3), located in the shock absorber
lower side, adjust the external spring preload.
To change spring preload, slacken the lower locking
ring nut (3). Then TIGHTEN or SLACKEN the upper
ring nut (2) to INCREASE or DECREASE spring
preload.
After setting spring preload as desired, tighten the
lower locking ring nut (3).
STANDARD setting from the fully closed position
(clockwise):
-
rebound: loosen adjuster (1) by 1.5 turns (from
fully closed position);
- spring preload: 15 mm (0.59 in) (from fully
uncompressed).
Warning
To turn the preload adjuster ring nut use a pin
wrench. Pay attention to avoid hand injuries by hitting
motorcycle parts in case the wrench tooth suddenly
slips on the ring nut groove while moving it.
Warning
The shock absorber is filled with gas under
pressure and may cause severe damage if taken apart
by unskilled persons.
