Spring Preload
Turn the Hydraulic Adjuster knob to set the
spring pre-load. Turn clockwise to increase
the preload, turn counter clockwise to de-
crease.
Compression
Adjust by turning the knob on top of the res-
ervoir. Turn clockwise to increase damping,
turn counter clockwise to decrease.
Rebound
Turn the wheel on the piston shaft above the
end eye/bracket. Turn clockwise to increase
damping, turn counter clockwise to decrease.
NOTE!
When delivered the Öhlins shock absorber is
dialed to the recommended settings for the
specifi c vehicle model. If you have changed
the setting, reset according to the following:
The adjuster has a right hand thread. Turn
the adjuster clockwise to fully closed (pos.
zero [0]). Turn counter clockwise to open and
count the clicks until you reach the recom-
mended number (see Set-up Data).
CAUTION!
Do not use force, delicate sealing surfaces can
be damaged. Handtighten only.
Length
We recommend you to adjust the length
before installing the shock absorber to the ve-
hicle. Use two wrenches. Hold the upper nut
with one hand and at the same time loosen
the lock nut (lower nut). Turn the end eye/
bracket to the desired length. Lock the lock
nut. Tightening torque: 40 Nm.
WARNING!
The adjustable end eye/bracket must not be
threaded out more than that the groove is fully
visible beneath the lock nut. This is maximum
length. After adjusting, make sure that the lock
nut is tightened.

1
Put the motorcycle on a workstand so that the
rear wheel barely touches the ground.
CAUTION!
We recommend you to remove the lower cover.
WARNING!
Make sure the vehicle is securely supported so
that it will not tip.
2
Remove the seat and the passenger handle.
Remove the side covers.
3
Remove two screws in the front, the fasteners
throughout the top of the tank cover, so that
the rear part of the cover can be gently folded
upwards, and the upper attachment of the
original shock absorber can be removed (see
step 9).
4
From the right side of the vehicle; loosen, (but
do not remove) the brake fl uid reservoir and
the expansion vessel. Fold out the expansion
vessel.
5
From the left side of the vehicle; loosen the
original hydraulic preload adjuster. Loosen the
tie wraps from the inner cover so that the cover
can be folded out slightly and the hydraulic
preload adjuster removed upwards.
6
Remove the tool box. Put the hydraulic preload
adjuster temporarily out to the right side.
HOW TO INSTALL
7
Remove the passenger foot peg bracket on the
right side.
8
Remove the lower screw of the original shock
absorber.
9
Gently lift the front cover (see step 3) and
loosen the upper screw of the original shock
absorber. Remove the original shock absorber.
NOTE!
Recommendation! Before installing the Öhlins
shock absorber:
• clean the vehicle thoroughly
• adjust the length of the shock absorber (check
the headlight angle after adjusting the length)
10
Install the Öhlins shock absorber. Make sure
that the attachment to the hydraulic preload
adjuster is at the top and pointing up (A) and
the attachment to the reservoir is at the top
and pointing to the right (B), see fi gure.
11
Attach the upper and lower attachments, but
do not tighten yet.
12
Install the reservoir under the seat as indicated
in the fi gure. Note that you must drill two
8,5 mm holes in the plastic inner mudguard.
Use the rubber mount and tie wrap provided in
this kit to attach the reservoir. See fi gure.
13
Install the hydraulic preload adjuster to the
frame as indicated in the fi gure. The washers
should be installed as indicated in the fi gure.
Use the screw, washers and nut provided in
this kit to install the adjuster.
NOTE!
Lower the motorcycle so that the shock absorber
is sligthly compressed, before tightening the
screws.
14
Tighten the screws of the upper and lower at-
tachments.
15
Reattach the front cover, passenger foot peg
bracket, brake fl uid reservoir, expansion vessel,
side covers, handle and seat. Make sure that
all removed parts are attached in the same way
as they were before the installation.
Make sure that all screws are tightened to the
correct torque and that nothing fouls or restricts
movement of the shock absorber when the sus-
pension is fully compressed or extended.
WARNING!
It is advisable to have an Öhlins dealer install the
shock absorber.
