Adjusting the shock absorber
assembly
This shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring.
NOTICE
ECA10102
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring in direction (a). To
decrease the spring preload and there-
by soften the suspension, turn the ad-
justing ring in direction (b).
 Align the appropriate notch in the
adjusting ring with the position in-
dicator on the shock absorber.
 Use the special wrench and ex-
tension bar included in the own-
er’s tool kit to make the
adjustment.
WARNING
EWA10222
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
worn-out shock absorber as-
sembl
y
yourself. Take the shock
absorber assembly to a Yamaha
dealer for any service.
