3 turn(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
0 turn(s) in direction (b)*

in direction (a)
Slow compression damping force
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the slow
compression damping, turn the adjust-
ing bolt in direction (a). To decrease the
compression damping force and there-
by soften the compression damping,
turn the adjusting bolt in direction (b).

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-
sembly yourself. Take the shock
absorber assembly to a Yamaha
dealer for any service.
