Shock absorber adjusters (fig. 50 and fig. 51)
The shock absorber has external adjusters that enable you to
adjust the suspension to suit the load on the motorcycle.
Adjuster (1), located on the left-hand side at the point at
which the top of the shock absorber is fixed to the rear
sub-frame, controls rebound damping.
Turn the adjuster (1) clockwise to increase damping, or
counter-clockwise to reduce damping.

The two nuts (2) on the upper part of the shock absorber

and may cause severe damage if taken apart by unskilled
persons.
