INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
Compression damping force
(a)
(b)
4
1. Compression damping force adjusting bolt
(for fast compression damping)
2. Compression damping force adjusting bolt
(for slow compression damping)
Compression damping force (for fast
compression damping)
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting bolt in
direction (a). To decrease the compres-
sion damping force and thereby soften
the compression damping, turn the ad-
justing bolt in direction (b).
Compression damping setting (for
fast compression damping):
Minimum (soft):
1
Standard:
2
Maximum (hard):
* With the adjusting bolt fully turned in
direction (a)
Compression damping force (for slow
compression damping)
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting bolt in
direction (a). To decrease the compres-
sion damping force and thereby soften
the compression damping, turn the ad-
justing bolt in direction (b).
Compression damping setting (for
slow compression damping):
Minimum (soft):
Standard:
Maximum (hard):
* With the adjusting bolt fully turned in
direction (a)
4 turn(s) in direction (b)*
3 turn(s) in direction (b)*
0 turn(s) in direction (b)*
20 click(s) in direction (b)*
9 click(s) in direction (b)*
1 click(s) in direction (b)*
4-33
TIP
To obtain a precise adjustment, it is ad-
visable to check the actual total number
of clicks or turns of each damping force
adjusting mechanism. This adjustment
range may not exactly match the spec-
ifications listed due to small differences
in production.
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.
