TUNSETTING
EC72B000Rear suspension setting
The rear suspension setting should
be made depending on the rider’s
feeling of an actual run and the cir-
cuit conditions.
The rear suspension setting includes
the following 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.
EC72C001Choosing 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
adjustment by turning the spring
adjuster
2 to achieve the stan-
dard figure from the subtraction
of the length
b from the length
a.
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.
Standard figure:
90 ~ 100 mm
(3.5 ~ 3.9 in)
Réglage de la suspension arrière
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
Régler la longueur du ressort.
Changer de type de ressort.
2. Réglage de la force d’amortisse-
ment
Régler la force de rebond.
Régler 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 b entre le centre de l’axe de
roue arrière et le boulon de fixation
du garde-boue arrière.
3. Desserrer le contre-écrou 1 et
effectuer le réglage en tournant le
dispositif de réglage 2 de sorte à
régler à la valeur standard, obtenue
en soustrayant la longueur b de la
longueur a.
N.B.:
Le ressort peut s’allonger au fur et à
mesure de la période de rodage. Il est
donc important de corriger les régla-
ges régulièrement.
Si la valeur standard ne peut être obte-
nue à l’aide du dispositif de réglage et
en ajustant la longueur du ressort,
remplacer le ressort avec un ressort en
option et effectuer un nouveau
réglage.
Valeur standard:
90 à 100 mm (3,5 à 3,9 in)

TUNSETTING
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 compen-
sate 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 compen-
sate 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 damp-
ing will be followed more or
less by a change in the com-
pression damping. For correc-
tion, 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 standard as it
may result in faulty performance.
Never use one whose overall
length is greater than standard.

Réglage du ressort après
remplacement
Après avoir remplacé le ressort, veiller à
ajuster celui-ci à la longueur recomman-
dée [profondeur 90 à 100 mm (3,5 à
3,9 in)] et à le régler.
1. Ressort mou
Régler le ressort doux de sorte à
ce que la force de rebond soit
moindre puisque la charge du res-
sort sera moindre. Rouler après
avoir dévissé le dispositif de
réglage de la force de rebond
d’un ou deux déclics et ajuster
ensuite selon ses préférences.
2. Ressort dur
Régler le ressort dur de sorte à ce
que la force de rebond soit plus
élevée afin de compenser la
charge du ressort plus grande.
Rouler après avoir vissé le dispo-
sitif de réglage de la force de
rebond d’un ou deux déclics et
ajuster ensuite selon ses préféren-
ces.
*Un réglage de la force de rebond
entraîne un changement de la
force de compression. Pour com-
penser, dévisser le dispositif de
réglage de la force de compres-
sion.
ATTENTION:
Lors du remplacement de l’amortis-
seur arrière, veiller à monter un
amortisseur dont la longueur totale a
n’excède pas la longueur standard
sinon, il y a risque de mauvaises per-
formances. Ne jamais monter un
amortisseur dont la longueur totale est
supérieure à la longueur standard.
