3.10.4 Air system
On some suspension forks it is possible to
alter the air pressure. To do that you will
need the assistance of your dealer – or if
you feel confident of doing it yourself – a
suspension fork pump with a pressure gage
and the suspension fork manufacturer's in-
stallation manual. The valve with cap (e.g.
marked 'AIR') is usually located on the left
hand side of the fork.

WARNING
Have damaged components (tears, cracks etc.) replaced before you
use the bike again. If not, important components may fail, causing you
to fall off.
Do not ride the bike if it is not in a technically satisfactory condition.
Do not ride a bike or component with any crack, bulge or dent, even
a small one. Riding a cracked frame, fork or component could lead to
complete failure, with risk of serious injury or death. If you are not
sure, have it checked out by your dealer.
3.10.3 Lockout system
If your suspension forks are fitted with a
lockout system it is possible to lock the
suspension. There are some riding
situations where that can be useful: for
example, if you riding up a hill or if you
are standing up from the saddle when
accelerating. To switch the suspension
to fixed, turn the rotary control on the
right hand side of the fork to 'LOCK' (or
alternatively:
$
). To reactivate the sus-
pension, turn the control to the 'OPEN'
position.

WARNING
Do not ride over rough terrain with the suspension locked. It can
damage the suspension forks. A broken fork could cause you to fall off
and seriously injure yourself.
