6. Push the hose connector lock lever
down, and then remove the hose connec-
tor from the air valve.
TIP
When removing the connector, the sound of
air escaping may be heard, but this is from the
pump hose, not the shock absorber.
7. Install the air valve cap.
TIP
If the front shock absorber bottoms too easily
or rolls too much during cornering, increase
the air pressure by 34 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm², 5 psi).
If the shock absorber is too firm and you want
a more compliant ride, decrease the air pres-
sure by 34 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm², 5 psi).

Adjusting the damping forces of the
front shock absorbers
(FX10/FX10RTRS/FX10XT)
EWS00740
WARNING
The damping forces of the left and right
shock absorbers must be adjusted to the
same settings. Uneven settings can cause
poor handling and loss of stability.
Compression damping force
The compression damping force of each
shock absorber can be adjusted by turning its
compression damping force adjusting knob.
To increase the compression damping force,
turn the adjusting knob in direction (a). To de-
crease the compression damping force, turn
the adjusting knob in direction (b).
