Anyone have the instructions to adjust the rear suspension?

I love the bike! But with my 102kg the bike doesn't like speedbumps! 😉 (and neither does my back/ass!)

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Rear suspension adjustment is easy if you have the appropriate C-spanners.

Just slacken off the bottom knurled nut under the spring, then move the upper nut up or down.

Bring the bottom nut to meet the top and pinch them together.

Job done!

I want to go a step further and have Hagon make me a coil over unit.

I guess that the suspension is set for 2 Chinese, possibly 100kgs when I weigh just 60kgs ready to ride, always solo.

I will need the specs of the basic unit, I am not prepared to lose the Moto for 2 weeks while they measure the spring and damping rates.

Anyone help me with the figures?

Indeed a lighter guage progressive spring along with changes to the compression and the rebound settings.

I'm still getting used to having a heavy unsprung mass at the rear.😉

Just measure the diameter of the nut.

I used my Hagon tool and an adjustable C spanner; it doesn't need to be a precise fit.

In the olden days we used a flat blade screwdriver and a hammer to release them!

Have fun.
