Warning
The shock absorber is filled with gas under
pressure and may cause severe damage if taken apart
by unskilled persons.
When carrying a passenger and luggage, set the rear
shock absorber spring to proper preload to improve
motorcycle handling and keep safe clearance from
the ground. You may find that rebound damping
needs adjusting as well. The shock absorber is
adjusted by electric impulses sent by the instrument
panel to the adjusters inside the shock absorber body.
Warning
Danger: the bike touches the ground earlier than
expected. Consider the reduced lean angle and
ground clearance of the Version with Lowered Riding
Height. Motorcycle lower riding height is achieved
through a reduction of the suspension travel. This
could result in a limitation of the usual riding comfort.
The rear shock absorber spring preload should be
adjusted, especially when riding with a passenger
and/or luggage.
