Rear shock absorber adjusters (fig. 44)<br />
The shock absorber has external adjusters that enable you to<br />
adjust the suspension to suit the load on the motorcycle.<br />
Adjuster (1), located on the left-hand side at the point at<br />
which the shock absorber is fixed to the swingarm, controls<br />
rebound damping.<br />
The adjuster (2) on the shock absorber reservoir controls<br />
compression damping.<br />
Turn the adjusters (1 and 2) clockwise to stiffen the damping<br />
or anti-clockwise to soften it.<br />
STANDARD setting:<br />
from the fully closed position (turned fully clockwise), unscrew:<br />
adjuster (1) by 2 turns;<br />
adjuster (2) by 2 turns.<br />
Spring preload: 20 mm.<br />
The two nuts (3) on the upper part of the shock absorber<br />
serve to adjust the preload on the external spring. To<br />
change spring preload, slacken off the upper lock nut.<br />
Then tighten or loosen the lower nut to increase or<br />
decrease spring preload as required.<br />
