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 follow-
ing two factors:
1. Setting of spring preload
9Change the set length of the spring.
9Change the spring.
2. Setting of damping force
9Change the rebound damping.
9Change 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 mea-
sure the length abetween 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 bbetween the rear wheel
axle center and the rear fender holding bolt.
3. Loosen the locknut 1and make adjustment
by turning the spring adjuster 2to achieve
the standard figure from the subtraction of
the length bfrom the length a.
Standard figure:
90~100 mm (3.5~3.9 in)

Effectuer le réglage de la suspension
arrière en fonction de la sensation lors
de la conduite ainsi que des conditions
de route.
Les deux réglages de la suspension
arrière sont les suivants:
1. Réglage de la précharge du ressort
9Régler la longueur du ressort.
9Changer de type de ressort.
2. Réglage de la force d’amortisse-
ment
9Régler la force de rebond.
9Régler la force de compression.
Choix de la longueur de ressort
1. Placer un support ou un bloc sous
le moteur pour surélever la roue
arrière et mesurer la longueur a
entre le centre de l’axe de roue
arrière et le boulon de fixation du
garde-boue arrière.
2. Retirer le support ou le bloc et
mesurer, avec une personne assise
correctement sur la selle, la lon-
gueur bentre le centre de l’axe de
roue arrière et le boulon de fixa-
tion du garde-boue arrière.
3. Desserrer le contre-écrou 1et
effectuer le réglage en tournant le
dispositif de réglage 2desorte à
régler à la valeur standard obtenue
en soustrayant la longueur bde la
longueur a.
Wahl der Einstellänge
1. Einen Ständer oder Block unter
den Motor stellen, um das Hinter-
rad anzuheben, und den Abstand

Scelta della lunghezza registrata
1. Collocare sotto il motore un sup-
porto o un blocco per rialzare dal
suolo la parte superiore e misurare
la lunghezza afra il centro
dell’asse della ruota posteriore e il
bullone di tenuta del parafango
posteriore.
2. Togliere dal motore il supporto o il
blocco e, con un guidatore a caval-
cioni della sella, misurare la lun-
ghezza abbassata bfra il centro
dell’asse della ruota posteriore e il
bullone di tenuta del parafango
posteriore.
3. Allentare il controdado 1ed
effettuare la regolazione ruotando
il regolatore della molla 2per
ottenere la cifra normale sottraen-
do la lunghezza bdalla lunghezza

Registrazione della sospensione
posteriore
La registrazione della sospensione
posteriore dovrebbe essere effettuata in
base alla sensazione che il guidatore ha
di una corsa effettiva e alle condizioni
del circuito.
La registrazione della sospensione poste-
riore comprende i seguenti due fattori:
1. Registrazione del precarico della
molla
9Cambiare la lunghezza registra-
ta della molla.
9Cambiare la molla.
2. Registrazione della forza di smor-
zamento
9Cambiare lo smorzamento
dell’estensione.
9Cambiare lo smorzamento della
compressione.
