Minimum (soft):
2 4/5 turn(s) in direction (b)
Standard:
1 1/4 turn(s) in direction (b)
Maximum (hard):

TIP
 When adjusting the damping force
settings, turn the adjuster in direc-
tion (a) until it stops, and then
count the number of turns in direc-
tion (b).
 Although a damping force adjust-
er may turn beyond the stated mi-
nimum settings, such adjustments
are ineffective and may damage
the suspension.
WARNING
This shock absorber assembly con-
tains highly pressurized nitrogen
gas. Read and understand the fol-
lowing information before handling
the shock absorber assembly.
 Do not tamper with or attempt
to open the cylinder assembly.
 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.
 Do not deform or damage the
cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.

 Do not dispose of a damaged or
worn-out shock absorber as-
