Rear Shock Suspension Settings
Adjusting the Spring Preload
Preload: It affects the suspension sag. The
adjustment knob is on the right hand side
under the seat.
1. Increase the spring preload by turning the
preload knob
A
clockwise.
2. Reduce the spring preload by turning the
preload knob counterclockwise.
Initial Guideline:
STANDARD – 12 mm (0.47 in)
Adjusting Compression Damping
Compression damping: It controls the
rate of suspension compression.
There are two separate setups, “High-Speed”
and “Low-Speed”. This refers to the speed at
which the rear shock is being compressed.
Compression damping screws are accessed
through the oval window on the left side of the
motorcycle below the tank.
Low-Speed Compression Damping
1. Turn the BOTTOM adjusting screw
D
to
desired setting. Take care to not loosen the
cap
E
.
2. Zeroing: Turn the adjusting screw clockwise
until it stops.
3. Turn the screw as many clicks as necessary
counterclockwise to the desired setting.
Initial Guideline:
STANDARD – 18 clicks
High-Speed Compression Damping
1. Turn the TOP adjusting screw
B
to desired
setting. Take care to not loosen the cap
C
.
2. Zeroing: Turn adjusting screw
counterclockwise until it stops.
3. Turn the screw clockwise as many clicks as
necessary to the desired setting.
Initial Guideline:
STANDARD – 22 clicks
Turning clockwise increases the compression
damping; turning counterclockwise reduces
the compression damping.
Adjusting Rebound Damping
Rebound damping: It controls the rate of
suspension extension after compression,
known as rebound.
1. Turn the Rebound damping screw
F
, on the
left side of the shock, clockwise using a 4 mm
allen key until it stops.
2. Zeroing: Turn the screw clockwise up to the
last perceptible click.
3. Turn the screw counterclockwise as many
clicks as necessary to the desired setting.
Initial Guideline:
STANDARD – 14 clicks
Turning clockwise increases the rebound
damping; turning counterclockwise reduces
the rebound damping.
