EAS2GB2210HANDLING THE REAR SHOCK ABSORBEREWA
WARNING
This rear shock absorber contains highly
compressed nitrogen gas. Before handling
the rear shock absorber, read and make
sure that you understand the following in-
formation. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for property damage or person-
al injury that may result from improper han-
dling of the rear shock absorber.
• Do not tamper or attempt to open the rear
shock absorber.
• Do not subject the rear shock absorber to
an open flame or any other source of high
heat. High heat can cause an explosion
due to excessive gas pressure.
• Do not deform or damage the rear shock
absorber in any way. Rear shock absorber
damage will result in poor damping perfor-
mance.
TIP
A break-in is required up to about 50 km of run-
ning.
