CHANGING THE REAR ELASTOMER
The Birdy is fitted as standard with a red
elastomer, which is suitable for a very wide
range of conditions. It can, however, some-
times make sense to fine-tune the riding
qualities to your personal taste by changing
the rear elastomer to reflect your particular
weight, riding style and the state of your
local roads. A softer yellow elastomer and a
harder, green one are available. To change it
simply fold the rear swingarm down and pull
the elastomer o with your hand. The fol-
lowing table may help you select the correct
elastomer. Please note that elastomers get
“harder” at low temperatures. It could there-
fore be a good idea to change to a “softer”
elastomer in winter.
CHANGING THE FRONT ELASTOMER
The front elastomer can also be exchanged
for a harder version. The standard version is
hollow, while the harder version is solid.
The elastomer can be pushed out of the
spring with a screwdriver.
