Adjusting The Shock Absorber Assemblies - Yamaha Vmax VMX12N Owner's Manual

Spring rate:
Minimum/standard (soft):
Air pressure =
40 kPa (0.4 kgf/cm², 5.7 psi)
Maximum (hard):
Air pressure =
100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm², 14 psi)
Never exceed the maximum air pres-
sure, otherwise the front fork oil
seals may become damaged.
There must be no difference in air
pressure between the left and right
fork legs, otherwise poor handling
and loss of stability may result.
