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).
Attention
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.
Attention
The shock absorber is filled with gas under
pressure and may cause severe damage if taken
apart by unskilled persons.
