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 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
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
Remove the seats. Consult your vehicle service
manual.
3
Remove the right side cover.
4
Remove the left side cover and the engine
cover.
5
Remove the tool box and the mud fl ap.
7
Install the Öhlins shock absorber. Make sure
that the shock absorber fi ll screw is at the top
and pointing towards the rear. Lead the hy-
draulic preload adjuster hose above the shock
absorber out to the left side of the vehicle. See
fi gure. Temporarily leave it while attaching the
shock absorber.
8
Install the front and the rear shock absorber
attachments, do not tighten yet.
9
Tighten the front and rear shock absorber at-
tachments.
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!)
10
Reinstall the mud fl ap and the tool box.
NOTE!
The hydraulic preload adjuster hose should be
lead through the cavity of the tool box as indi-
cated in fi gure 11.

cover with the bracket, spacer and screw pro-

not come in contact with the exhaust pipe or
any sharp edges.

Reinstall the side covers and the seats. Make
sure that all removed parts are installed in the

movement of the shock absorber when the sus-
pension is being fully compressed or extended.
