Align the appropriate notch in the
adjusting ring with the position in-
dicator on the shock absorber.

Use the special wrench and exten-
sion bar in the tool kit to make this
adjustment.
Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting screw in direction
(a). To decrease the rebound damping
force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting screw in di-
rection (b).
TIP

When adjusting the damping force
settings, turn the adjuster in direc-
tion (a) until it stops, and then
count the turns in direction (b).

Although a damping force adjuster
may turn beyond the stated mini-
mum settings, such adjustments
are ineffective and may damage
the suspension.
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.

Do not dispose of a damaged or
