especially at high ambient tempera-
ture, some of the oil and grease used

the packaging. This is in no way det-
rimental to the product, wipe off the

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.
WARNING!
It is advisable to have an Öhlins dealer install the
shock absorber.
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
Remove the seat.
3
Remove the side cover on the left side.
HOW TO INSTALL
4
Remove the left side engine cover.
5

ment of the original shock absorber. Remove

screw is at the front and pointing up. Lead the
hose in a soft bend between the rear engine

NOTE!
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.

Loosen the ignition lock bracket and install the
preload adjuster bracket between the screw
head and the ignition lock bracket. Tighten the

WARNING!
Make sure that the hydraulic preload adjuster
hose runs in soft bends. Also check that it does
not come in contact with the exhaust pipe or any
sharp edges.

NOTE!
Make sure that the distance between the engine
cover and the hydraulic preload adjuster is big
enough so that you can adjust the preload.
