Rear Shock Absorber (Air Type)

Rebound Damping Adjustment

The rebound damping force adjuster on each rear shock
absorber has 4 positions so that the rebound damping force
can be adjusted for different road and loading conditions.
The numbers on the adjuster show the setting position.
•
Turn the adjuster [A] until the desired number [B].
○
The standard adjuster setting is No.II for an average-build
rider of 68 kg (150 lb) with no passenger and no acces-
sories.
If the damper setting feels too soft or too stiff, adjust it in
accordance with the following table.

If both adjusters are not adjusted equally, handling
may be impaired and a hazardous condition may
result.

Air Pressure Adjustment

The air pressure in the rear shock absorbers can be ad-
justed for different road and loading conditions.
The following table shows an example of air pressure ad-
justment. To obtain stable handling and a suitable ride, ad-
just the air pressure as indicated. The standard air pressure
is atmospheric pressure for an average-build rider of 68
kg (150 lb) with no passenger and no accessories. Ordi-
narily, the heavier the total load becomes, the higher the air
pressure should be set.

absorbers are cold (room temperature).
