ADJUSTING THE SHOCK ABSORBER

Shock absorber is adjusted for vehicle running with rider
and a light luggage only; by varying spring preload it
can nevertheless be adjusted based on rider's weight.

justment affects both the stability and
the handling of the motorcycle. After
changing the standard suspension set-
ting, ride with care. Before making any
change, it is recommended to measure
the "A" reference dimension with the
motorcycle resting on central stand, and
the rear wheel raised off the ground.
