Adjusting the rear shock absorber
The rear shock absorber has commands that enable
you to adjust the setting to suit the load on the
motorcycle. The adjuster (1), located on the
swingarm, controls rebound damping. Turn the
adjuster (1) clockwise to increase damping, or
counter-clockwise to reduce damping. Two ring nuts
(2) located on the top section of the shock absorber
are used to adjust the outer spring preload. To adjust
the spring preload, loosen the top ring nut.
SCREWING or UNSCREWING the bottom ring nut
will INCREASE or DECREASE the preload.
STANDARD calibration from the fully closed position
(clockwise):
-
rebound: unscrew the adjuster (1) by 8 clicks
from Max (fully closed);
-
spring preload: 0.79 in (20 mm) from Min. (not
preloaded).
