Adjusting The Rear Shock Absorbers; Adjusting The Handlebar - Malaguti Spider Max GT500 Manuel D'utilisation Et D'entretien

5.9 ADJUSTING THE REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS

• The shock absorbers are equipped with a spring preload ring
nut, with which it is possible to adjust the vehicle's behaviour
depending on the load carried, how the vehicle is driven and
where.
• The adjustment is carried out using the wrench supplied, by
acting on the ring nut located in the bottom section of the shock
absorbers (Fig. 34); turn it clockwise to increase the spring
preload.
• If an excessive resistance is encountered, combine the shock
absorber wrench with the wrenching pipe supplied.
There are four adjustment positions:
1) Position one: driver only
2) Position two: drive and luggage case
3) Position three: driver and passenger
4) Position four: driver, passenger and luggage case.
adjust both shock absorbers according to the same
adjustment index. An unbalanced adjustment may com-
promise the vehicle's stability.
While riding with a passenger, preload the shock ab-
sorber spring at position '3'.
When adjusting, wear gloves to protect yourself against
scratching.

5.10 ADJUSTING THE HANDLEBAR
