REAR SHOCK KAYABA
Rebound damping
With the bike on an appropriate stand
Measure the dimension R1 between a fixed point on
the chassis and the rear axle.
With the bike setting on its wheels
Measure the dimension R2 from the same fixed point
on the chassis and the rear axle. The static deflection
is the difference between R1-R2.
Static deflection
If the static deflection is not correct, adjust the preload
of the shock (& p.111).
With the rider on the motorcycle
Measure the dimension R3 between the same fixed
point on the chassis and the rear axle.
The sag is the difference between R1-R3.
Sag
If the sag is not correct, change the spring (& p.111).
