8.1 Informations
8.2 Changing the spring preloading of the shock absorber
Guideline
Standard rider weight > 75… 85 kg (165… 187 lb.)
If the rider’s weight is above or below this range, the basic setting of the suspension components must
be adjusted accordingly.
Small weight differences can be compensated by adjusting the spring preload, but in the case of large
weight differences, the springs must be replaced.
The spring preload can be changed by turning the adjusting ring 1. For this purpose, you should dismount
the shock absorber and clean it thoroughly.
Loosen the clamping screw and use the hook wrench contained in the vehicle tool set to turn the
adjusting ring as desired. Turning it counterclockwise will reduce the preload, turning it clockwise will
increase the preload. After readjusting the clamping screw, tighten it to 5 Nm (6 ft.lb).

• For optimal motorcycle riding characteristics and to avoid damage to forks, shock
absorbers, swingarm and frame, the basic settings of the suspension components must
match the rider’s weight.
• As delivered, Apollo are adjusted for an average rider’s weight (with full protective
clothing).
• Before changing the spring preload note down the basic setting, e.g. how many threads are visible
above the adjusting ring.
• One rotation of the adjusting ring 1 changes the spring pretension by approximately 1.75 mm
(0.07 in).
