3.11.3.1 Retrofitting the Shock Absorber

The shock absorber system is clamped to the frame and is continuously adjustable as a result.
1) Remove the rear wheel adapter, standard (see Page 41).
2) Pre-install the upper shell on the shock absorber (see Fig. 133):
→ To do so, insert the 2 size 10 hex nuts into the shell's profile.
→ Bolt on the size 5 Allen head screws – do not tighten.
3) Guide the shock absorber true to side at the proper clearance onto the frame from outside (see Fig. 134):
→ The elastomer is situated above.
→ The fitting position is – as required – toward the front or rear.
4) Pre-install the lower shell (see Fig. 135).
5) Adjust the shock absorber depth. Use the bores in the frame for orientation (see Fig. 136, item 1).
6) Tighten the clamping screws to 8 Nm (see Fig. 136, item 2).
→ Once changed, the left and right shock absorber must have the same horizontal position on the frame.
