ADJUSTING THE SHOCK ABSORBER

The rear shock absorber must be adjusted according to the rid-

er weight and track conditions.

Proceed as follows:

1. With motorcycle on the stand, measure distance (A).

2. Take the normal riding position on the motorcycle with all

your riding apparel.

3. With somebody's help, take the new distance (A).

B: axis of the panel screw

C: axis of rear wheel pin

4. The difference between these two measurements constitutes

the "SAG" of the motorcycle's rear end.

Suggested SAG: 4 in. with cold shock absorber. 3.7 in. with

warmed up shock absorber.

5. To get the right SAG according to your weight, adjust the

shock absorber spring preload as described at side.

WARNING*: Never disassemble shock ab-

sorber, which contains highly compressed

nitrogen. Contact your Dealer for such ma-

jor service. Do not incinerate.
