ADJUSTMENTS
Rear suspension:
Rear suspension sag is preset at the
factory for a rider of approximately 170
pounds. But it should be rechecked for
optimum performance. To set the sag,
place the bike on a stand or box that
lifts the rear wheel clear of the ground,
then measure the distance from the
center of the rear axle to the center of
the seat-mounting bolt and record that
number. Next, put the motorcycle on
the ground and bounce on it a few
times to loosen up the shock and
swingarm pivots. With the rider sitting
on the bike in his normal riding posi
tion, one foot on the ground for bal
ance, have an assistant remeasure
the distance from rear axle bolt center
to the seat mount bolt and record that
number. The difference in measure
ments should be exactly 3.75 inches
(95mm).
If adjustment is needed, loosen the
shock-spring's locking ring then rotate
the shock spring by hand to increase
its preload. Lessen the preload if more
sag is needed. After rechecking the
sag measurement, tighten the locking
ring firmly using a spanner wrench or
drift punch and hammer.
Shock compression damping:
Compression damping controls the
speed at which the shock compress
es. The compression-adjuster knob is
located on the top of the shock's
reservoir. Moving the knob to a higher
number increases the shock's com
pression resistance and slows the
s h o c k ' s r a t e o f c o m p r e s s i o n .
Choosing a lower number reduces
resistance to compression and pro
vides a softer ride.
