How to adjust the rear spring preload on the Aprilia SR GT 125

Model: Aprilia Sr Gt 125
Part: Shocks

Video tutorial

In this video we can see how to adjust the rear spring preload on the Aprilia SR GT 125. It comes from the factory with the stiffness shown by the YouTuber in the video. To make the adjustment we need a spark plug tool and an extension.

After making the adjustment on one side, we need to do the same on the other side. One side is much simpler because there are no other components to complicate the job. The other side is more difficult because we have the VarioMatic which makes access much tighter, considering the tool we use for the adjustment.

However, with a bit of balancing we should be able to do it.
