SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS

Shock absorber adjustment

The rear shock absorber must be adjusted to suit rider weight and terrain condi-
tions.
Proceed as follows:
1. Place the motorcycle on the stand and measure distance (A).
2. Sit on the motorcycle in normal riding position with full riding gear on.
3. Have someone else measure distance (A) again.
A
4. The difference between these two measurements is the distance the rear end
settles when the rider sits on the motorcycle (RIDER SAG). Recommended
rider sag is 100 mm with a cold shock absorber and 95 mm with a warm
shock absorber.
5. To achieve correct rider sag for your weight, adjust the spring preload of the
shock absorber (see relevant paragraph).
