Rear shock absorber adjusters for 749/749Dark/
749S (fig. 39)
The rear shock absorber has outer adjusters that enable
you to adjust your motorcycle to the load.
The adjuster (1) located on the left side, on the connection
holding the shock absorber to the swingarm, controls
rebound damping.
The adjuster (2) on the shock absorber expansion reservoir
controls compression damping.
Turn the adjusters (1 and 2) clockwise to increase
damping, or counterclockwise to reduce damping.
Two ring nuts (3), located on the top section of the shock
absorber are used to adjust the outer spring preload.
To change spring preload, slacken off the upper ring nut.
Then tighten or slacken the lower ring nut to increase or
decrease spring preload as required. Once the desired
spring preload has been set, lock down the upper ring nut.
Warning
Use a specific pin wrench only to turn the preload
adjusting nut. Take special care when turning the nut,
so as to avoid injuring your hand by striking it violently
against other parts of the motorcycle in the event that
the wrench loses its grip on the nut during movement.
