elevated will not change, and needs only be measured once. After
the measurement and the locations from where the measurement is
taken is recorded (steps 1-4), you will only need to perform steps
5-8 to correctly adjust the rear shock absorber spring.
Have an assistant help you complete the following procedure.
1. Elevate the rear of the motorcycle until the rear wheel is
about 1 inch (2.5 cm) off of the ground. Use an appropriate
motorcycle lift or a block of wood or steel placed securely
under the frame.
2. Measure the distance from the center of the rear axle to the
bottom of the rear fender directly above the axle.
3. Record the measurement and the locations from where the
measurement is taken in the space provided.
4. Remove the motorcycle lift apparatus and return the
motorcycle to the ground.
