REAR-WHEEL SUSPENSION
For maintenance intervals, see page 71 (PERI-
ODIC MAINTENANCE CHARTS) under:
- Rear damper/shock absorber.
The rear-wheel suspension consists of:
- a damper/linkage unit.
The unit is connected:
- at the top (damper head) to the frame;
- at the bottom (linkage) to the rear fork.
ADJUSTMENT OF DAMPER SPRING PRELOAD
The basic setting of the suspension is done by
FANTIC MOTOR. If different use is required, the
setting may be customised according to the type
of road to travelled.
Proceed as follows:
- Loosen the counter-ring nut (2) using a hook
wrench or aluminium turning pin.
- Turn the adjusting ring nut (1) to the required
position in relation to your weight and riding
style.
- Tighten the counter-ring nut (2) (torque
wrench setting of 5 kgm).
