(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):
20 click(s) in direction (b)*
Standard:
6 click(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
5 click(s) in direction (b)*
* With the adjusting screw fully turned
in direction (a)
Compression damping force

To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting screw

in direction (a). To decrease the com-
pression damping force and thereby
soften the compression damping, turn
the adjusting screw in direction (b).
Compression damping setting:
Minimum (soft):
20 click(s) in direction (b)*
Standard:
5 click(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
1 click(s) in direction (b)*
* With the adjusting screw fully turned
in direction (a)
NOTE:
Although the total number of clicks of a
damping force adjusting mechanism
may not exactly match the above spec-
ifications due to small differences in
production, the actual number of clicks
always represents the entire adjusting
range. To obtain a precise adjustment,
it would be advisable to check the num-
ber of clicks of each damping force ad-
justing mechanism and to modify the
specifications as necessary.

WARNING
This shock absorber contains highly
pressurized nitrogen gas. For prop-
er handling, read and understand
the following information before
handling the shock absorber. The
manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for property damage or
personal injury that may result from
improper handling.
G
Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the gas cylinder.
G Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber to an open flame or other
high heat sources, otherwise it
may explode due to excessive
gas pressure.
G
Do not deform or damage the
gas cylinder in any way, as this
will result in poor damping per-
formance.
G
Always have a Yamaha dealer
service the shock absorber.
