6. Remove the hose connector from the air
valve.
NOTE: NOTE:
When removing the connector, the sound of air
escaping may be heard, but this is from the
pump hose, not the shock absorber.
CAUTION:
Do not exceed 1,034 kPa (10.3 kgf/cm
2
, 150
psi)
7. Install the air valve cap.
NOTE: NOTE:
If the front suspension bottoms too easily or
rolls too much during cornering, increase the
air pressure by 34 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2
, 5 psi). If
the suspension is too firm and you want a
more compliant ride, decrease the air pressure
by 34 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2
, 5 psi).
CAUTION:
The air pressure of the left and right shock
absorbers must be set to the same setting.
Uneven settings can cause poor handling
and loss of stability.
WARNING
This shock absorber contains highly pres-
surized nitrogen gas. It could explode by
improper handling, causing injury or prop-
erty damage.
• Do not tamper with or attempt to open the
shock absorber.
• Do not subject the shock absorber to an
open flame or other high heat source,
which could cause it to explode.
• Do not deform or damage the shock
absorber in any way.
• Do not dispose of a worn or damaged
shock absorber by yourself. Take the unit
to a Yamaha dealer.
