ADJUSTING THE REAR SHOCK
ABSORBER
Check and if necessary adjust the rear
shock absorber every 15000 km (9375 mi).
The standard setting of the rear shock
absorber is adjusted so that it is suitable for
most driving conditions, at high and low
speed, for the transport of the rider with
luggage.
However, it is also possible to adjust the
setting according to the intended use of the
vehicle.

Before acting on the adjusters, wait for
the engine and the exhaust silencer to
cool down completely.

When the spring preload is increased, it
is necessary to increase also the
