NOTE An assistant will be required to keep the vehicle

• Hold the tail of the motorcycle firmly with your hands.
Press down and release repeatedly.
• If you feel any hardness or play, or hear squeaking
noises, change the bearings of the rear suspension

• Press down the vehicle tail. If the tail is slow to spring
back up when released, check rear suspension

If the problem persists after the adjustment, it means that the
