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.

Remove the silencers and the rear part of the
exhaust system. Consult your Vehicle Service

Loosen the fuel tank (one screw), lift and pull
the tank towards the rear.
5
Loosen the hose clamp holding the external
reservoir of the original shock absorber.

Loosen and remove the two lower bolts that
hold the rear sub frame. Loosen the upper
bolts so that the rear frame can be raised and
the gas reservoir removed.
7
Loosen the lower and then the upper
attachment bolts, remove the original shock
absorber.
NOTE!
Recommendation: Before installing the Öhlins
shock absorber clean the vehicle thoroughly.
8
Install the Öhlins shock absorber above the
rear wheel. Slightly raise the rear sub frame so
that the shock absorber can be installed. Do
not tighten the attachment bolts yet.
NOTE!
Lower the motorcycle so that the shock absorber
is sligthly compressed, before tightening the
screws.
WARNING!
It is advisable to have an Öhlins dealer install the
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 fully compressed or extended.
