Motorcycle trim adjustment
Motorcycle trim is the result of many tests carried out by
our engineers in the most different conditions.
Changing this parameter is a very delicate operation that
might prove dangerous if improperly carried out.
Before changing standard setting, it is advisable to
measure the reference value (H, fig. 34).
The rider can change motorcycle trim according to his/her
own riding style by setting shock absorber position (fig.
34a).
Loosen nuts (3) on ball joints (1) and use socket (A) to
increase or decrease linkage (2) center distance.
Once set, tighten nuts (3) to 25 Nm.
Note
Be careful because lower nut (3) has a left thread.
Warning
Linkage (2) length, in-between joints (1) axes, must
not exceed 255 mm.
