maximum or minimum settings.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.

thereby harden the suspension,
turn the adjusting ring in direction

load and thereby soften the sus-
pension, turn the adjusting ring in
direction (b).

justing ring with the position indicator
on the shock absorber.

WARNING

EWA10221
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 toopen 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-
sembly yourself. Take the shock
absorber assembly to a Yamaha
dealer for any service.
