Setting Information
REAR SUSPENSION
The shock absorber contains nitrogen under high
pressure. Be sure to observe the following.
– Do not heat the damper unit. There is a
danger of explosion or oil blowing out.
– When discard the shock absorber, be sure to
remove the valve core and remove the gas
from the damper unit
SETTING BASICS
The shock absorber of this motorcycle can adjust high
speed/low speed compression damping force and
rebound damping force to rider's preference, weight and
course conditions.
Follow the precautions below to make the correct setting.
• Suspension setting start is after riding the standard
setting.
• Adjustment of high speed/low speed compression
damping force, rebound damping adjuster, refer to
following.
• If you stray to the setting, return to the standard
setting and adjust again.
HIGH SPEED COMPRESSION DAMPING ADJUSTER
The high speed compression damping force can be
adjusted from the stiffer to the softer (3 - 1/2 turning back)
by the high speed compression adjuster [1] on the upper
left side of the rear shock absorber.
Turning clockwise (H) turns stiffer, turning
counterclockwise (S) turns it softer.
• Be sure to adjusting the adjusters by 1/4 turn at a time.
• For suspension adjustment guideline 3-9.
3-6
3-7.

HOW TO SET THE STANDARD POSITION
1. Turn the adjuster clockwise (H) until it stops (stiffest
position).
2. Turn counterclockwise (S) direction from the stiffest
position and align the adjuster punch mark [2] with the
adjuster body punch mark [3] between 3 – 3-1/2 turns
is the standard position.
LOW SPEED COMPRESSION DAMPING ADJUSTER
The low speed compression damping force can be
adjusted from the softest to the stiffest with 13 clicks (4
clicks / 1 rotation) or more by the low speed compression
adjuster [1] on the upper left side of the rear shock
absorber.
Turning clockwise (H) turns stiffer, turning
counterclockwise (S) turns it softer.
• Turn the adjuster with the correct size tool.
• Be sure to stop the adjuster at the click position.
• For suspension adjustment guideline 3-9.
HOW TO SET THE STANDARD POSITION
1. Turn the adjuster clockwise (H) until it stops (stiffest
position).
2. Turn counterclockwise (S) direction from the stiffest
position.
The first click is confirmed as 1 click, and the 11 clicks
and align the adjuster punch mark [2] with the adjuster
body punch mark [3] is the standard position.
