INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring in direction (a). To de-
crease the spring preload and thereby
soften the suspension, turn the adjust-
ing ring in direction (b).
G
Align the appropriate notch in the
adjusting ring with the position in-
3
dicator on the shock absorber.
G Use the special wrench and the
extension bar included in the own-
er's tool kit to make the adjust-
ment.
Spring preload setting:
Minimum (soft):
1
Standard:
3
Maximum (hard):
7
Rebound damping force
1. Rebound damping force adjusting screw
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting screw in direction
(a). To decrease the rebound damping
force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting screw in di-
rection (b).
Rebound damping setting:
Minimum (soft):
12 click(s) in direction (b)*
Standard:
8 click(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
1 click(s) in direction (b)*
* With the adjusting screw fully turned
in direction (a)
3-24
TIP
To obtain a precise adjustment, it is ad-
visable to check the actual total number
of clicks or turns of the damping force
adjusting mechanism. This adjustment
range may not exactly match the spec-
ifications listed due to small differences
in production.
WARNING
This shock absorber assembly con-
tains highly pressurized nitrogen
gas. Read and understand the fol-
lowing information before handling
the shock absorber assembly.
G Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the cylinder assembly.
G Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber assembly to an open
flame or other high heat source.
This may cause the unit to ex-
plode due to excessive gas
pressure.
G Do not deform or damage the
cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.
