Rear shock absorber adjusters

(fig. 33.1, fig. 33.2, fig. 34.1 and fig. 34.2)
The shock absorber has external adjusters that enable you to
adjust the suspension to suit the load on the motorcycle.
The adjuster (1) located on the right-hand side, where
the lower end of the shock absorber is attached to the
swingarm, controls rebound damping.
The adjuster (2) on the shock absorber reservoir controls
compression damping.
Turn the adjusters (1 and 2) clockwise to stiffen the damping
or anti-clockwise to soften it.
