REAR SUSPENSION

Servicing the rear suspension drop and drag link

With drop link and drag link still in place (connected to swinging arm and chassis,
respectively), rock them both back and forth in all directions to check for radial
and axial clearance. Some axial clearance in the drop drag link is required for
the swinging arm to achieve the ideal position for proper operation. If radial clear-
ance is found, it will be necessary to remove the part from the swinging arm or
from the chassis and check the wear of the spacer for the various components.
- Position a lift under the lower central beam (1) of the chassis and lift the
motorcycle until the rear wheel has been lifted up off the ground.
- Loosen the nut and remove the screw (2).
2
Fasten the vehicle in a steady position so that it cannot overturn;
use suitable stands and belts.

Disassemble the drop link and the drag link, checking the various
components; upon reassembly, grease the bearings and the bush-
ings.
The retaining screws must be inserted from the left side and the
8
nuts must be fixed from the right side.
Pay attention to reassemble the drop link (10) with the punched part
