Adjusting the rear ride height The standard ride height setting is the result of tests carried out in a wide variety of conditions by our technical staff. Modifying the frame geometry is a very critical operation, and can be dangerous if carried out by untrained persons. Before changing the standard setting, measure the reference value (H, fig. 36.1).

Adjusting the rear ride height
The standard ride height setting is the result of tests carried
out in a wide variety of conditions by our technical staff.
Modifying the frame geometry is a very critical operation,
and can be dangerous if carried out by untrained persons.
Before changing the standard setting, measure the
reference value (H, fig. 36.1).
The rider can adjust the rear ride height to suit his/her
needs by changing the working position of the rear shock
absorber (fig. 36.2).
Increase/decrease the distance between the ends of tie-
rod (2) by loosening the nuts (3) of the ball joints (1) and
turning the flats (A).
Once the tie-rod length is adjusted correctly, tighten the
nuts (3) to 25 Nm.
Notes
Note that the lower nut (3) has a left-hand thread.
Warning
The length of the tie-rod (2) between the centres of
the two eyes (1) should not exceed 255 mm.
