suspension question

rsvmille · Jul 31, 2008

ok, i've just played with the bike long enough to start getting used to the twins characteristics & am going to start playing with the suspension to get it the way i want it to be. i've search the forum & net & found loads of usefull info but the one thing i can't get is how to get to the rear rebound screw,there appears to be a bloody great big swing arm in the way:roll. is it on the left or right side (as you sit)? does it have to be on the paddock stand to gate to it?:dunno

any clues would be great guys

thanks

it's a 2000 mille by the way!

on my r with ohlins i have to lie on the floor and do it from underneath !

It's on the left from memory and you can get a screwdriver into it if you on a paddock stand. difficult on side stand cos it's leaning towards you.

i went underneath with both hands sort of wrapped around it, make sure you dont use too much force finding fully closed before openinig up as you'll knacker the thread..

well i still havn't found it even on a stand, maybe i am just being stupid:dunno:confused my shock has a white spring if it makes any difference:dunno

bike has now gone to a friends garage while i am on hols so will have another look in a few weeks.

thanks for the advice tho, appreciate it
