To obtain optimal driving features of the motorcycle and to prevent
damage to the fork, rear shock, rear swing arm and frame, it is
necessary that the basic calibration of the suspension is adapted to
your body weight. In the delivery status, the off-road TM motorcycles are
calibrated on a pilot weight (with complete protective clothing) of 70 –
80 kg. If your weight is not within these values, you must adequately
adapt the basic calibration of the suspensions. Minor weight changes
can be compensated by varying the spring pre-load. For greater
variations, suitable springs rates must be used.

If the rear shock spring is suitable for your weight, it can be seen by
lowering in running order. However, before establishing the lowering
in running order, static lowerIng must be adjusted correctly.

The static lowering should be35 mm. Variations of more than 2 mm can
notably influence driving of the motorcycle.
Procedure:
- Position the motorcycle on a stand so that the rear wheel does not
touch the ground.
- Measure the distance between the rear wheel axle and a fixed point
(e.g.. a mark on the side panel) paying attention that the straight line
that joins the axle and the fixed point is as perpendicular as possible
to the ground and make note of the value as A.
- Rest the motorcycle back on the ground.
- Ask a helper to hold the motorcycle in a vertical position.
- Measure the distance between the rear wheel axle and the fixed
point again. Make note of this measurement as B.
- The static lowering is the difference between measurement A and B.
EXAMPLE:
Motorcycle on stand (measurement A)………………........... 600 mm
Motorcycle on the ground, not loaded (measurement B) .. -565 mm
Static lowering ……………………………................................. 35 m m
If thestatic lowering is smaller, the rear shock spring pre-load must be
decreased. If the static lowering is greater, the spring pre-load must
be increased. See variation of rear shock spring pre-load chapter.
