WARNING
Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the cylinder assembly.
Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber to an open flame or other
high heat source. This may
cause the unit to explode due to
excessive gas pressure.
Do not deform or damage the
cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.
Take your shock absorber to a
Yamaha dealer for any service.
