3.10.1 Compression rate
The compression rate refers to the speed
at which a spring is compressed. To
adjust the compression rate, move the
rotary controller towards - (= greater
compression rate) or + (= lower
compression rate).
3.10.2 Rebound damping
Rebound damping describes the speed at which a spring expands. To
adjust the rebound damping, rotate the red setting wheel on the underside
of the fork to the open position (= greater spring expansion speed) or to
the closed position (= lower spring expansion speed).

3.9.5 Tires
WARNING
Do not either overinflate or underinflate the tires. If the tire pressure
is too high, at worst, the tire could burst, causing you to fall off. On
the other hand, if the tire pressure is continuously too low, the tire
can wear out prematurely. The maximum permissible pressure is
marked on the side of tire in bar and pounds per square inch. You
can check the tire pressure for yourself using a tire pressure gage.
Alternatively, you can ask your dealer.
To check if the tires are in good shape, spin each wheel slowly and
look for cuts in the tread and sidewall. Replace damaged tires before
riding the bike.
We highly recommend that you carry a spare inner tube when you
ride your bike, unless the bike is fitted with tubeless tires. Patching
a tube is an emergency repair. If you do not apply the patch correctly
or apply several patches, the tube can fail, resulting in possible tube
failure, which could cause you to lose control and fall. Replace a
patched tube as soon as possible.
