Rear shock adjustment
The rear shock absorber has external adjusters which enable to adequate the bike set up in
accordance to load and driving requirements.
It is adjustable in compression (high and low speed), in the spring preload and in rebound (high
and low speed).
The adjustment is carried out by external registers:
1) to modify the spring preload;
2) to modify the rebound hydraulic brake (high and low speed);
3) to modify the compression hydraulic brake (high and low speed).
Place motorcycle upright, in stable way.
Screwing completely clockwise the adjustment screws (2) and (3) and the preload adjuster (1) up
to lock them, you get “0” position, corresponding to maximum braking and preload.
Starting from this position, rotating counter clockwise, you can count the various turns/clicks
corresponding to position “1/2 turn”, “1 turn” etc.
Standard settings:
Spring preload: 15 mm
Compression: 9 clicks
Rebound: 9 clicks.
Preload spring:
Use an appropriate tool to adjust the preload of the rear shock absorber.
SOFT: rotate the preload ring nut register counter clockwise for a more soft driving position, in case
of light loads.
HARD: rotate the preload ring nut register clockwise for a more rigid driving position, in case of
heavy loads.
IMPORTANT
