(a). To decrease the rebound damping
force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting knob in di-
rection (b).
Compression damping force
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting knob
in direction (a). To decrease the com-
pression damping force and thereby
soften the compression damping, turn
the adjusting knob in direction (b).
CAUTION:
ECA10100
Never attempt to turn an adjusting
mechanism beyond the maximum or
minimum settings.
NOTE:
Although the total number of clicks of a
damping force adjusting mechanism
may not exactly match the above spec-
ifications due to small differences in
production, the actual number of clicks
always represents the entire adjusting
range. To obtain a precise adjustment,
it would be advisable to check the num-
ber of clicks of each damping force ad-
justing mechanism and to modify the
specifications as necessary.
WARNING
EWA10230
These shock absorbers contain
highly pressurized nitrogen gas. For
proper handling read and under-
stand the following information be-
fore handling the shock absorbers.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for property damage or
personal injury that may result from
improper handling.
●
Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the gas cylinders.
●
Do not subject the shock ab-
sorbers to an open flame or oth-
er high heat sources, otherwise
they may explode due to exces-
sive gas pressure.
●
Do not deform or damage the
gas cylinders in any way, as this
will result in poor damping per-
formance.
●
Always have a Yamaha dealer
service the shock absorbers.
