Adjusting the rear shock absorber

The rear shock absorber has commands that enable
you to adjust the setting to suit the load on the
motorcycle.
The adjuster (1) located on the front connection
holding the shock absorber to the crankcase half
adjusts the damping during the rebound phase
(return).
The adjuster (2) located on the expansion reservoir of
the shock absorber adjusts the damping during the
compression phase.
The two nuts (3) on the upper part of the shock
absorber serve to adjust the preload of the external
spring.
To change spring preload, slacken the upper locking
ring nut. Then TIGHTEN or SLACKEN the lower ring
nut to INCREASE or DECREASE spring preload.
After setting spring preload as desired, tighten the
upper locking ring nut.
