Rebound Damping Adjustment
1. Rebound damping adjuster
The rebound damping adjuster is located at
the bottom of the rear suspension unit and is
accessible from the left hand side of the
motorcycle.
To adjust the rebound damping setting,
rotate the slotted adjuster clockwise to
increase, and anti-clockwise to decrease.
Note:
• The setting is measured as the
number of adjuster 'clicks' anti-
clockwise from the fully clockwise
(hardest) position.
• The motorcycle is delivered from
the factory with the spring pre-load
set 14 clicks anti-clockwise from the
fully clockwise position.
Rear Suspension Setting Chart
(Trophy models only)
The standard suspension settings provide a
comfortable ride and good handling
characteristics for general, solo riding. The
charts above show suggested settings for the
rear suspension.
An increase in spring pre-load requires firmer
damping, a reduction in spring pre-load
requires softer damping.
The damping must be adjusted to the road
conditions and the spring pre-load.
