Adjusting the rear shock absorber The rear shock absorber has commands that enable you to adjust the setting to suit the load on the motorcycle. The adjuster (1), located on the swingarm, controls rebound damping. Turn the adjuster (1) clockwise to increase damping, or counter-clockwise to reduce damping. Two ring nuts (2) located on the top section of the shock absorber are used to adjust the outer spring preload. To adjust the spring preload, loosen the top ring nut. SCREWING or UNSCREWING the bottom ring nut will INCREASE or DECREASE the preload. STANDARD calibration from the fully closed position (clockwise): rebound: unscrew the adjuster (1) by 8 clicks from Max (fully closed); spring preload: 0.79 in (20 mm) from Min. (not preloaded). 1 - + Fig 105 2 Fig 106 155
