How to Install How to Install
Warning!
It is advisable to have an Öhlins dealer install the
shock absorber.
When installing, consult your Vehicle Service
Manual.
Warning!
Make sure the vehicle is securely supported so
that it will not tip.

Put the motorcycle on a workstand so that
the rear wheel barely touches the ground.
2
Remove the silencer.
3
Remove the upper screw of the original shock
absorber.
Caution!
The brake hose must not be stretched. It can
be damaged. Support the swing arm once the
lower screw of the shock absorber is removed.
4
Remove the lower and the upper screw of the
link arm and the lower screw of the original
shock absorber.
5
Remove the original shock absorber by lifting
it above the rear wheel.
Note!
Recommendation! Before installing the Öhlins
shock absorber clean the vehicle thoroughly.
6
Loosen the screw holding the brake uid
reservoir (on the inside of the right frame
beam). Press the brake uid reservoir as far
towards the front as possible, then tighten the
screw.
7
Install the Öhlins shock absorber in the same
way as the original unit. Use the original
screws.

Make sure that there is clearance between the
shock absorber reservoir and the brake fluid
reservoir.
