Adjusting The Shock Absorber - SWM RS 125 R 2016 Manuel D'utilisation Et Entretien

ADJUSTING THE SHOCK ABSORBER

The rear shock absorber must be registered accord-
ing to the driver's or driver + passenger's weight,
and on the ground conditions.
Proceed as follows:
1. With the motorcycle on the ground in vertical po-
sition, measure the distance (A).
2. Take the normal riding position on the motorcycle
with all your riding apparel.
3. With somebody's help, take the new distance (A).
4. The difference between these two measure-
ments constitutes the "SAG" of the motorcycle's
rear end.
The recommended SAG is 0.98/1.18 (25-30 mm).
5. To get the right SAG according to your weight,
adjust the shock absorber spring preload as de-
scribed at side.
WARNING*: The shock absorber adjustment
affects both the stability and the handling of
the motorcycle. After changing the standard
suspension setting, ride with care. We advise
measuring the reference distance "A" before
making any change.
WARNING*: Never disassemble the shock ab-
sorber, which contains compressed gas. Con-
tact your SWM Dealer for any major service.
