decrease the spring preload and there-
by soften the suspension, turn the ad-
justing ring in direction (b).

adjusting ring with the position in-

Use the special wrench and ex-
tension bar included in the own-
er’s tool kit to make the

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 ab
sorber as-
sembly yourself. Take the shock
