Spring Preload
Turn the knob on the hydraulic preload
adjuster to set the spring preload. Turn
clockwise to increase the preload, turn
counter clockwise to deacrease it.
Rebound
Turn the wheel on the piston shaft above
the end eye/bracket. Turn clockwise to
increase damping, turn counter clock-
wise 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 clock-
wise to open and count the clicks until
you reach the recommended 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 vehicle. 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.

HOW TO INSTALL
1
Put the motorcycle on a workstand so that the
rear wheel barely touches the ground.
WARNING!
Make sure the vehicle is securely supported so
that it will not tip.
2
Loosen the screws on the exhaust system as
indicated with the red arrows in the fi gure.
3
On the left side of the vehicle, loosen the en-

4
Remove the front attachment of the original

fold out the exhaust system and pull out the

5
At this point, we recommend you to remove
the rear wheel. Consult your vehicle service
manual for correct procedure.
7
Install the Öhlins shock absorber. Lead the hy-
draulic preload adjuster hose between the two
pull rods, above the rear swing arm and out on
the right side of the vehicle. Temporarily leave it
there while fastening the shock absorber.
NOTE!
Lower the motorcycle so that the shock
absorber is slightly compressed, before tighten-
ing the screws.
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!)

pension is being fully compressed or extended.
