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.
Warning
The shock absorber is filled with gas under
pressure and may cause severe damage if taken apart
by unskilled persons.
When carrying a passenger and luggage, set the rear
shock absorber spring to proper preload to improve
motorcycle handling and keep safe clearance from
the ground. You may find that rebound damping
needs adjusting as well. The shock absorber is
adjusted by electric impulses sent by the instrument
panel to the adjusters inside the shock absorber body.
