HOW TO INSTALL
WARNING!
It is advisable to have an Öhlins dealer to install
the shock absorber. Refer to your vehicle service
manual when installing this product.
1. Put the motorcycle on a workstand and
raise it 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 seats and side covers.
3. Remove the original shock absorber:
Remove the bolts for the upper and lower
attachments and remove the original shock
absorber.
4. Remove the front seat support.
NOTE!
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!)
5. Install the ÖHLINS shock absorber:
Install the ÖHLINS shock absorber (do not tighten
yet) while pulling the reservoir upwards and the
hydraulic preload adjuster to the right side.
6. Mount the upper and lower shock absorber
attachment bolts.
NOTE!
Lower the motorcycle so that the shock absorber
is slightly compressed, before tightening the
screws.
7. The reservoir shall be placed in the box under
the rear seat and be kept in place by the original
rubber band.
8. The preload adjuster shall be mounted at the
silencer bracket on the right side of the bike.
9. Fix the hose in soft turns with the supplied
tie-wraps.
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.
10. Reinstall all removed parts in the same way
as they were before installation of the ÖHLINS
shock absorber.
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 suspension is being fully compressed or
extended.
