11 ADJUSTING THE "ÖHLINS" REAR
MONOSHOCK (V11 L
- V11 C S
SA AFÉ PORT
The motorcycle has a monoshock equipped with sepa-
rate adjusters for spring preload and hydraulic braking
during rebound and compression.
The fork is set to the following values at the factory:
- Rebound (ring nut «A»): 14 clicks from "fully closed
position"
- Compression (adjuster «B»): 12 clicks from "fully
closed position"
- Spring preload (nuts «D»): 15 mm starting from un-
loaded spring.
Use only Ohlins 105/1 oil.
Turn the ring nut "A" to adjust hydraulic braking during
rebound depending on single needs and motorcycle load.
Turn the adjuster "B" to adjust hydraulic braking during
compression.
Loosen the ring nut "C" and turn the ring nut "D" clock-
wise or anti-clockwise with a pin wrench to adjust spring
preload. Turn clockwise to increase spring preload.
Note: lubricate the threading between the
monoshock body and the ring nut «D» with
"SVITOL", oil or grease so as not to damage
the threading.
Hydraulic adjusters have their zero position at
their "fully closed position", whereas spring
adjusters have their zero position at their "fully
open position".
Do not change these settings so not to affect
vehicle stability and safety while riding.
