absorber is adjusted so that it is suitable for
most driving conditions.
The standard adjustment, set by the

example in case of ride with passenger
and full load, it is advisable to contact an
aprilia Authorised Dealer.
According to the conditions of use of the
vehicle, it is possible to adjust the hydraulic
rebound damping by adjusting the screw
(1); for the adjustment, keep to the
following indications:
Uneven or irregular road surface –

u Turn the screw (1) to the right
(clockwise).

u Turn the screw (1) to the left
(anticlockwise).

hydraulic rebound damping according
to the conditions of use of the vehicle.
When the spring preload is increased, it
is necessary to increase also the
hydraulic rebound damping with
extended shock absorber, in order to
avoid sudden jerks while riding.
If necessary, contact an aprilia
Authorised Dealer.
