24.Install:
• Damper assembly “1”
(to the inner tube “2”)
ECA
NOTICE
Allow the damper assembly to slide slowly
down the inner tube until it contacts the bot-
tom of the inner tube. Be careful not to dam-
age the inner tube.
25.Loosen:
• Rebound damping force adjuster “1”
TIP
• Before loosening the damping force adjuster,
record the setting position.
• Unless the damping force adjuster is fully
loosened, correct damping characteristic can-
not be obtained after installation.
26.Install:
• Damper adjusting rod “1”
• Copper washer “2”
• Adjuster “3”
(to the damper assembly “4”)
TIP

damper assembly.27.Measure:
• Gap “a” between the adjuster “1” and the
locknut “2”
Out of specification  Retighten and read-
just the locknut.
TIP
If it is installed with a gap out of specification,
correct damping force cannot be obtained.
