INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
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):
4 turn(s) in direction (b)*
3
Standard:
3 turn(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
0 turn(s) in direction (b)*
* 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):
20 click(s) in direction (b)*
Standard:
12 click(s) in direction (b)*
Maximum (hard):
1 click(s) in direction (b)*
* With the adjusting bolt fully turned in
direction (a)
NOTE:
Although the total number of clicks or
turns of a damping force adjusting
mechanism may not exactly match the
specifications listed due to small differ-
ences in production, the actual number
of clicks or turns always represents the
entire adjustment range. To obtain a
precise adjustment, it would be advis-
able to check the number of clicks or
turns of each damping force adjusting
mechanism and to modify the specifi-
cations as necessary.
WARNING
This shock absorber contains highly
pressurized nitrogen gas. For prop-
er handling, read and understand
3-24
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.
