Use and maintenance
The two nuts (3) on the upper part of the shock absorber serve to adjust the preload on the outer spring. To adjust the spring
preload, unscrew the upper adjuster nut using a pin wrench.
Screw the lower nut in or out to increase or reduce the preload.
Once the desired spring preload has been set, lock down the upper ring nut.
Warning
To turn the preload adjuster ring nuts, use only a specific tool and take care, otherwise the wrench pins may suddenly slip out of
the ring nut. This could injure your hands.
Never use a wrench with a too small pin or with a too short handle.
Warning
The shock absorber is filled with high-pressure gas and can cause injuries if inexpertly dismantled.
Important
If the motorcycle is to be ridden with a pillion rider and luggage, we recommend setting rear shock absorber spring preload to
the maximum to ensure the best handling and proper ground clearance at all times. It may also be necessary to adjust the
rebound damping accordingly.
