The knob (3, fig. 127) located on the expansion reservoir of the shock absorber adjusts the compression damping. Turning the adjusters (1) or the knobs (2) and (3) clockwise increases damping or preload; turning them in the opposite direction decreases them. STANDARD calibration; from the fully closed position (clockwise) unscrew: adjuster (1, fig. 125) by 12 clicks; knob (2, fig. 126) FULLY OPEN (counterclockwise); adjuster (3, fig. 127) by 25 clicks. Warning The shock absorber is filled with gas under pressure and may cause severe damage if taken apart by someone who is unskilled. If you intend to transport a passenger and baggage, preload the shock absorber spring to the maximum to improve the dynamic performance of the motorcycle and to avoid possible interference with ground. You may find that rebound damping needs adjusting as well. 3 fig. 127 159
