Adjusting the rear shock absorber
The shock absorber has external adjusters that enable you to adjust the suspension to suit the motorcycle set up.
The adjuster (1) located on the left-hand side, where the upper end of the shock absorber is attached to the rear
subframe, controls rebound damping.
Turn the adjuster (1) clockwise to increase damping H; or anticlockwise to reduce damping S.
STANDARD setting from the fully closed position (clockwise):
-unscrew adjuster (1) by 8 clicks.
Spring preload: 15 mm.
The two nuts (2) on the upper part of the shock absorber serve to adjust the preload on the external spring. To change
spring preload, slacken off the upper ring nut. Then tighten or slacken the lower ring nut to increase or decrease spring
preload.
