5. To increase the air pressure, operate the pump a few
times. The pressure should increase slowly. If the
pressure increases rapidly, check to make sure that
the pump is properly connected and tightened onto
the air valve.
To decrease the air pressure, push the black bleed
valve button

.
NOTE:
@
To allow pressure to escape from the pump and the
shock absorber, push the button halfway down and hold
it. To allow only a small amount of pressure to escape,
push the button all the way down and quickly release it.

6. Remove the hose connector from the air valve.
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:
@
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 absorb-
ers must be set to the same setting. Uneven settings
can cause poor handling and loss of stability.
@
Air pressure range:
345 kPa (3.4 kgf/cm
2
, 50 psi) to
1,034 kPa (10.3 kgf/cm
2
, 150 psi)
Recommended air pressure:
483 kPa (4.8 kgf/cm
2
, 70 psi)
