Rear suspension setting
The rear suspension setting should be made
depending on the rider’s feeling of an actual
run and the circuit conditions.
The rear suspension setting includes the fol-
lowing two factors:
1. Setting of spring preload
Change the set length of the spring.
Change the spring.
2. Setting of damping force
Change the rebound damping.
Change the compression damping.
EC72C001
Choosing set length
1. Place a stand or block under the engine
to put the rear wheel above the floor, and
measure the length a between the rear
wheel axle center and the rear fender
holding bolt.
2. Remove the stand or block from the
engine and with a rider astride the seat,
measure the sunken length b between
the rear wheel axle center and the rear
fender holding bolt.
3. Loosen the locknut 1 and make adjust-
ment by turning the spring adjuster 2 to
achieve the standard figure from the sub-
traction of the length b from the length
a.
Standard figure:
90 ~ 100 mm (3.5 ~ 3.9 in)
SETTING

7 - 19
TUNSETTING
NOTE:
If the machine is new and after it is broken in,
the same set length of the spring may
change because of the initial fatigue, etc. of
the spring. Therefore, be sure to make re-
evaluation.
If the standard figure cannot be achieved by
adjusting the spring adjuster and changing
the spring set length, replace the spring with
an optional one and make re-adjustment.
Setting of spring after replacement
After replacement, be sure to adjust the spring
to the set length [sunken length 90 ~ 100 mm
(3.5 ~ 3.9 in)] and set it.
1. Use of soft spring
Set the soft spring for less rebound
damping to compensate for its less
spring load. Run with the rebound
damping adjuster one or two clicks on
the softer side and readjust it to suit
your preference.
2. Use of stiff spring
Set the soft spring for more rebound
damping to compensate for its greater
spring load. Run with the rebound
damping adjuster one or two clicks on
the stiffer side and readjust it to suit
your preference.
*Adjusting the rebound damping will be
followed more or less by a change in the
compression damping. For correction,
turn the low compression damping
adjuster on the softer side.

CAUTION:
When using a rear shock absorber other
than currently installed, use the one whose
overall length a does not exceed the stan-
dard as it may result in faulty performance.
Never use one whose overall length is
greater than standard.
