    ACCELERATOR ADJUSTING THE IDLE SPEED In order to perform this operation correctly, we advise you to do it when the engine is hot, connecting an electric revolution counter to the spark plug wire. Then use a screwdriver on register screw A to cali- brate the minimum with 900÷1000 rpm.
  • Page 31: Shock Absorber

    ADJUSTING THE SPRING PRELOAD Spring preload is adjusted by means of screw 2. Turning clockwise will increase the preload, while rotating counter- clock- wise decreases the preload. For standard calibration, refer to page SHOCK ABSORBER ADJUSTING THE REBOUND DAMPER The hydraulic brake unit in extension deter- mines the behaviour in the extension phase of the shock absorber and can be adjusted using screw 1.
  • Page 32: Suspension Adjustment According To The Motorcyclist's Weight

    ADJUSTING THE SPRING PRELOAD To adjust the spring preload, use the pro- cedure described below. Loosen counter-ring 1, rotate ring 2 clock- wise to increase the spring preload (and consequently the shock absorber preload) or anticlockwise to decrease it. After obtaining the desired preload, turn counter-ring 1 until it stops against adjust- ing ring 2.
