How to install
Warning!
It is advisable to have an Öhlins dealer install the
shock absorber.
When installing, consult your Vehicle Service
Manual.
1
Put the motorcycle on a workstand so that
the rear wheel barely touches the ground.
Warning!
Make sure the vehicle is securely supported so
that it will not tip.
2
Remove the original shock absorber. Raise
the wheel slightly so that the rear bolt can
be removed.
Note!
Before installing the Öhlins shock absorber clean
the vehicle thoroughly.
3
Install the Öhlins shock absorber with
the rebound adjuster towards the front.
The thin ball joint spacers shall be on
the right side of the vehicle, so that the
shock absorber centre is as far to the right
as possible. See figure. Raise the rear
wheel slightly so that the rear bolt can be
installed.
Note!
Lower the motorcycle so that the shock
absorber is sligthly compressed, before
tightening the screws.
Caution!
Make sure that all screws are tightened to the
correct torque and that nothing fouls or restricts
movement of the shock absorber when the
suspension is fully compressed or extended.
4
Make sure that all removed parts are
reinstalled in the same way as they were
before the installation of the Öhlins shock
absorber.
