Make sure the motorcycle is stabilised and adequately supported.
A correctly supported motorcycle will help prevent it from falling.
An unstable motorcycle may fall, causing injury to the operator or damage to the
motorcycle.
Perform the following operations:
• Seat - Removal
• Battery - Removal
• Fuel Tank - Removal
• Right hand Side Panels - Removal
• Keyless ECM - Removal
1. Raise and support the rear of the motorcycle under the engine. Position a block to
support the rear wheel.
2. Disconnect the engine ECM connectors (see Engine Electronic Control Module
(Engine ECM) - Removal).
3. If closed, open the passenger right hand footrest to access the rear suspension
preload adjuster fixings.
Note the routing of the preload adjuster hose and its retaining clip for installation.
There is a retaining band securing the adjuster hose to the suspension unit's body.
There is no requirement to remove retaining band.
