REAR SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT
The rear suspension is managed by two
shock absorbers that control compression
and rebound damping. The shock
absorbers are connected to the engine
through silent blocks.
Factory setting is designed to suit riders
weighing about 70 Kg. Turn the ring nut (1)
using the supplied lockring wrench to
change setting so as to meet individual
requirements (see chart).
CAUTION
Both shock absorbers must be set to
the same setting.

CHECKING THE STEERING
Read page 41 (MAINTENANCE)
carefully.
Check the steering for play from time to
time.
Check as follows:
◆ Place the vehicle on the centre stand.
NOTE Provide a support of adequate
height and width to support the vehicle
safely.
◆ Place the support under the vehicle. Put
some padding on the support to avoid
damage. The support must prevent the
vehicle from falling, while the front wheel
should be able to move freely.
