SCRAMBLER 1100 SPORT
Ohlins monoshock
The rear shock absorber has adjusters that enable you
to suit the setting to the load on the motorcycle.
Adjuster (1), located on the lower part of the
monoshock, adjusts the damping during the rebound
phase (return).
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.
Standard setting
Rebound: 12 clicks from fully closed;
Spring preload: 14 mm (0.43 in);
Distance between centres: 305 mm (12.01 in).
Warning
The shock absorber is filled with gas under
pressure and may cause severe damage if taken apart
by unskilled persons.

Warning
When carrying a passenger and luggage,
increase the rear shock absorber spring preload by 3
turns to improve motorcycle dynamic handling and
keep safe clearance from the ground. You may find
that rebound damping needs adjusting as well.
