How to Adjust your Rear Shock Absorber
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Adjusting your rear shock absorber will give you a proper feel, stable and comfortable ride depending on the condition of your usage. This will also help minimize more wear and tear to the suspension system, especially when you have passenger or heavy cargo usage.

Hello! Unfortunately, OEM C spanners doesn't have any size indications. Upon research and estimate, it could be approximately 40mm. But I'm really sorry, I'm not really that sure about that. I guess the safest way is to get an adjustable C spanner just to be sure. Thank you and Take care!
What about going back to one? Will the spring kick with each adjustment?

Yeah, it would still kick due to the tension.
I got the same one. I did it on Option 1, but it still feels hard. I expected a more bouncy and soft feel, but it’s still kinda hard and stiff.. Any tips?

Is it all stock? Some put lowering kits and that might change the way it feels. If it is still original and feels hard and stiff, then that means that is how the damper has been built yet it is not broken. The other option is to replace the damper with a softer one.
Hi, I've done 30,000 km and it's time to check. Do I need to rotate left or right first? So I didn't understand. Need to harden Suspension, right? Do I have to turn it to the right to harden it? And how many times? How do I know if it's hardened?

Hello! This job is optional. The adjustments are only done when you have a problem with the ground clearance or in other words, your scooter is too low or high for riding. Now that you have reached 30,000 km, what you need to do is to get a feel for the suspension. If it is too bouncy or softer than how it is used to be, then it is a good idea to check the condition of your damper or shock absorber. They should be stiff or have resistance, if it is too soft when compressed, then you might need to get a replacement. There is no need to adjust or rotate from left to right. This is only done when you want a higher or lower ride. hope this helps! Thanks!

There is nothing to worry about it. Even if you don't adjust it, it will just ride fine. I don't see any possible issue or something to break, not unless if your scooter is too low where it hits the ground sometimes, then that could break something. If the height is normal and it has enough ground clearance, nothing will break no matter what the situation would be. Just enjoy riding and maintaining your Vespa. Take care as always.
Sir if you adjust the rear suspenaion will it affect the seat height??

Well, it's one way too. Other methods are changing the shock bracket to lowering bracket or shaving the seat.
