Raise the rear part of the motorcycle by using the
handle and the passenger footrest, until the full exten-
sion of the rear shock absorber is reached; contempo-
raneously measure the distance X

ment to the shock absorber spring.
Slacken the upper lock ring of the rear shock absorber,
rotating it in the direction indicated in the figure by uti-
lising a 75 mm key spanner.
Rotate the lower lock ring as shown in the figure, either
in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction, according to
∆
the static slack value calculated.
