Rear shock absorber to be adjusted only on the left side
of the vehicle.
Adjust step by step (3rd to 4th notch and so on). Do not
go at a stretch as it will damage the adjuster.
The rear shock absorber contains highly compressed
gas. Do not try to open or disassemble it in any way.
Take a special care while turning the pre-load adjuster
because, your hand may be striking against the other
parts of the motorcycle if the adjuster spanner slips out
of the pre-load adjuster notch.
To adjust the shock absorber’s pre-load:
• Place the motorcycle on its stand on a firm and
flat surface.
• Locate the adjuster shock absorber rear and
handle ring spanner of tool kit (ref. page 191)
properly into the notches of pre-load adjuster as
shown in the figure (ref. Fig. 46).
• Carefully rotate the adjuster clockwise (A) to
increase the pre-load (hard suspension).
• Else, rotate the adjuster in anti-clockwise (B) to
decrease the pre-load (soft suspension).
