Adjusting the rear ride height
The rear ride height is the result of tests carried out under
different riding conditions by our technical staff.
Modifying this parameter is a very critical operation, and
can be dangerous if carried out by untrained persons.
Before changing the standard setting, measure the
reference value (H, fig. 36.1).
E
The rider can adjust the rear ride height to suit his/her
needs by changing the working position of the rear
shock absorber (fig. 36.2).
Increase/decrease the distance between the ends of
tie-rod (2) by loosening the nuts (3) of the ball joints (1)
and turning the flats (A).
Once the tie-rod length is adjusted correctly, tighten the
nuts (3) to 25 Nm.
Notes
Note that the lower nut (3) has a left-hand thread.
Warning
The length of the tie-rod (2) between the centres of
the two ball joints (1) is 255 mm.
