Oil Quantity In Each Fork Leg; Adjusting The Shock Absorber - SWM Superdual 2017 E4 Handbuch

FORK OIL LEVEL
For regular fork operation, both legs must be pro-
vided with the necessary oil quantity. Remove the
fork legs from the fork to check the oil level. Work
as follows:
- remove the damper rod caps;
- remove springs from the legs letting the oil drain
into the legs;
- bring fork to stroke end;
- check that the level is at distance "X" below the
upper limit of damper rod.

Flexibility index of the standard springs:
K = 7 N/mm
Note*:
Always replace both the spring and the spacers to
keep the preload value unchanged.

ADJUSTING THE SHOCK ABSORBER

The rear shock absorber is calibrated for running
with the rider plus a small bag only. It is thus rec-
ommended to adjust the shock absorber setting
(spring preload) when riding with a passenger.
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.
