Honda XL1000V Varadero Owner's Manual page 38

The rear shock absorber assembly
includes a damper unit that contains high
pressure nitrogen gas. Do not attempt to
disassemble or service the damper; it
cannot be rebuilt and must be replaced
when worn out.
Disposal should only be done by your
Honda dealer. The instructions found in
this owner's manual are limited to
adjustment of the shock assembly only.
