Shock absorbers

Adjusting
The rear suspension consists of a spring-shock
absorber unit linked to the frame via silent-block
and to the rear fork via a linkage system.
To set vehicle suspension, the shock absorber
has:
- a set screw (1) to adjust the hydraulic rebound
damping;
- a set screw (2) to adjust the hydraulic compres-
sion damping;
- a ring nut (3) to adjust spring preloading and a
locking ring nut (4).
Standard rear shock absorber setting is adjusted to suit most high and low speed riding conditions, to
transport the rider plus luggage.
However, this set can be modified for specific needs according to vehicle use.
BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, WAIT FOR THE ENGINE AND SILENCER TO COOL
COMPLETELY.
NOTE
TO COUNT THE NUMBER OF CLICKS AND/OR TURNS OF THE SET SCREWS (1-2) ALWAYS
START FROM THE MOST RIGID SETTING (SET SCREW FULLY CLOCKWISE).
USE THE SET SCREWS (1-2) AS REFERENCES FOR ADJUSTING THE HYDRAULIC COMPRES-
SION / REBOUND DAMPING.
GRADUALLY TURN THE SET SCREWS (1 -2) ONE NOTCH AT A TIME.
