load may be increased or diminished by
operating on the register
(A for RS 1, A-B for RS 3, D-F for RS 24
and RS 24/10) ring nuts by means of a
pinwrench, following these instructions.
When the vehicle is moved from its stand,
the suspension should go down of about
2-8 mm (RS 1 and RS 3) / 5-10 mm (RS 24
and RS 24/10).
If this does not happen, adjust the
pre-loading to counterbalance the
motorbike's weight. Bear in mind that a
vehicle's stability is mainly dependent
also on suspension spring pre-
loading adjustment.
For TWINS shock absorbers
The shock absorber is delivered with an
average spring pre-load; if required, the
load may be increased or diminished by
operating on the register (C) ring nuts
by means of a pinwrench, following
these instructions.
When the vehicle is moved from its stand,
the suspension should go down of about
2-8 mm.
If this does not happen, adjust the
pre-loading to counterbalance the
motorbike's weight. Bear in mind that a
vehicle's stability is mainly dependent
also on suspension spring pre-
loading adjustment.
Since it is a pair, plese note that both
the shock absorbers must have the
same adjusting.
Hydraulic braking calibration
in extension (only for RS 24 -
RS 24/10)
The knob is placed in the shock
absorber's upper part. The knob (C) can
perform two rotations and a half on its
axis, corresponding to about 24 clicks.
Clockwise rotations cause a hardening,
while counter-clockwise rotations
correspond to a suspension softening.
Each of the 24 positions of the
knobs (except for the first and last
ones) corresponds to the stroke of a
mechanical rod. The latter partially
opens or closes a hole port especially
placed to facilitate (or not) the oil
downflow inside the chamber itself. In
this way knob rotation means increasing
(clockwise rotations) or decreasing
(counter-clockwise rotations) hydraulic
braking calibrations for the RS 24 shock
absorber, and calibrations in extension
and compression for the RS 24/10
shock absorber.
It is advisable to test this in order to
determine the best conditions for
one's needs.
NOTE: Extension (RS 24 -
RS 24/10)
If the motorbike seems to be a bit
too sprung and tends to be unsteady,
turn the knob of 1-2 clicks (clockwise
rotation). If it seems slow in the extension
stroke and tends to push the back shock
absorber downwards, turn the knob of
1-2 clicks (counter-clockwise rotation).
Hydraulic braking calibration in
compression (only for RS 24/10)
The knob is located on the superior
part of the external cylinder. Right-hand
rotations create a hardening; on the
contrary, left-hand rotations create a
softening of the suspensions during the
phase of compression.
