Suspension setting

StatiC SaG

To regulate the sag of the suspension follow the following steps:
1. put the bike on an stand that allows you to keep the rear wheel in the air
steadily.
2. measure the vertical distance (1) between the rear axle nut and the upper
fixed point.

3. Lower the bike from the stand and place it with both wheels on the floor (not
resting on the side stand).
4. measure the vertical distance between the rear axle nut and the upper fixed
point.
if the difference between the measurements is different from 35 +/- 5 mm, vary
the pre-load of the shock absorber until it is obtained.
The sag with the rider above the motorcycle should be 100 +/- 5 mm.

always leave the standard settings and only make changes if necessary.
hard ground
smooth the compression damping settings on both the fork and the shock
absorber.
sandy ground
Tighten the compression damping or replace the spring with a harder one on
the fork. Hardening the compression and especially the rebound in the rear shock
absorber can also help reduce the pre-load of the spring.
muddy ground
Tighten the compression damping or replace the spring with a harder one on the
fork. Hardening the compression and the rebound in the rear shock absorber, can
also help increase the pre-load of the spring.

compression
• If you notice that the motorcycle wobbles or fluctuates widely even if
the speed and obstacles are small, if it has a low driving position or has a
tendency to bottom on downhill, you should should harden the settings
regarding the compression of both the fork and the shock absorber. if it
cannot be corrected, it may be indicative of a too soft or fatigued spring, as
well as low or insufficient saE oil internally in the fork.
• if the motorcycle feels hard, especially over bumps, together with a lack
of rear wheel traction and strong impacts from irregularities, you should
soften the adjustment of the compression of both the fork and the shock
absorber. if it cannot be corrected, it can be indicative of too hard a spring or
an excessive oil level in the fork.
