NOTE:
Although the total number of clicks of a damping
force adjusting mechanism may not exactly
match the above specifications due to small dif-
ferences 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 number of clicks of
each damping force adjusting mechanism and to
modify the specifications as necessary.
w
Suspension components become hot during
operation. Never touch the compression
damping adjusting dial, the rebound damping
adjusting knob or the oil reservoir with your
bare hand or skin until suspension compo-
nents have cooled.
