Rear shock absorber adjusters (fig. 64) The rear shock absorber has external adjusters that enable you to adjust the setting to suit the load on the motorcycle. The adjuster (1) located on the left side next to the lower connection holding the shock absorber to the swingarm adjusts the rebound damping. The adjuster (2) on the expansion tank of the shock absorber adjusts the compression damping. Turning the adjusters (1 and 2) clockwise gives harder damping, turning anticlockwise gives softer damping. STANDARD setting: from the fully closed position (clockwise) unscrew: adjuster (1) by 9 clicks from fully closed;. adjuster (2) by 1.5 turns from fully closed;. Spring preload: 0.9 in (23 mm). The two ring nuts (3) located in the upper part of the shock absorber adjust the preload of the external spring.To adjust the spring preload, loosen the top ring nut. UNSCREWING or SCREWING the bottom ring nut INCREASES or DECREASES the preload. Once you have set the desired preload, tighten the top ring nut. 2 1 3 fig. 64 97
