Rear Suspension (UNI-T RAK
®
)
This motorcycle’s re
ar suspension system is called
“UNI-TRAK
®
and consists of a rear shock absorber
unit, a swingarm, two lever rods and a lever.
The operating charac
teristics of the UNI-TRAK
®
suspension are similar to those of the front fork.
However, a linkage system is used to achieve pro-
gressive springing
characteristics.
Rear Shock Absorber Inspection
NOTICE
Sticking muds or dusts on the sliding surface
of the rear shock ab
sorber could damage the
oil seal, leading to an oil leak. Cle an the slid-
ing surface after each ride.
Pump the seat down and up by 4 or 5 times, and
inspect the smooth stroke.
If it does not smo
othly or noise is found, insp ect
the oil leak and rear s hock absorber mounting.
Visually inspect the rear shock absorber for oil
leakage.
If necessary, replace by an authorized Kawasaki
dealer.
Rear Shock Absorber A
djustment
The spring preload of the shock absorber can be
adjusted or the spring can be replaced with an op-
tional one to suit va
rious ridin g conditions. In addi-
tion, the damping force can be adjusted easily, mak-
ing it unnecessary to change the oil viscosity.
Rebound Damping Adjustment
To adjust the rear shock absorber rebound damp-
ing, turn the rebound damping adjuster at the bottom
of the rear shock absorber with a standard tip screw-
driver.
A. Rebound Damping Adjuster
If the damping feels too soft or too stiff, adjust it in
accordan ce with the following table.
