absorber near where it is attached to the swingarm serves
to adjuster rebound damping.
The adjuster (2) located on the shock absorber reservoir
serves to adjust hydraulic damping during compression
Turn the adjusters (1 and 2) clockwise to increase damping,
or counter-clockwise to reduce damping.
STANDARD setting from the fully closed position (clockwise):
-
unscrew the adjuster (1) by 12 clicks;
-
unscrew the adjuster (2) by 12 clicks.
The adjuster (3) located at the top of the shock absorber
serves to adjust the preload on the outer spring.
To change the spring preload, turn the top adjuster.
Screw in
or
screw out
the adjuster to
increase
or
decrease
spring preload as required.
The standard setting is the minimum preload position; from
this position the preload can be increased through five
positions: 1 click = 4 mm, total adjustment = 20 mm.
STANDARD length of the preloaded spring on the shock
absorber: 192±1.5 mm.
Warning
The shock absorber is filled with gas under pressure
and may cause severe damage if taken apart by unskilled
