How to install

Warning!

It is advisable to have an Öhlins dealer install the
shock absorbers.

When installing, consult your Vehicle Service
Manual.

Note!

Before installing the Öhlins shock absorbers
clean the vehicle thoroughly.

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.

2

Remove the original shock absorbers. See
your vehicle manual.

3

Install the Öhlins shock absorbers in the same
position as the original shock absorbers.

Note!

Lower the motorcycle so that the shock
absorber is sligthly compressed, before
tightening the screws.

4

Make sure that all removed parts are
reinstalled in the same way as they were
before the installation of the Öhlins shock
absorbers.

Caution!

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.
