Compression damping force (for slow
compression damping)
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the compres-
sion damping, turn the adjusting screw
in direction (a). To decrease the com-
pression damping force and thereby
soften the compression damping, turn
the adjusting screw in direction (b).
NOTE:
Although the total number of clicks of a
damping force adjusting mechanism
may not exactly match the specifica-
tions listed due to small differences in
production, the actual number of clicks
always represents the entire adjust-
ment range. To obtain a precise adjust-
ment, it would be advisable to check
the number of clicks of each damping
force adjusting mechanism and to mod-
ify the specifications as necessary.
WARNING
EWA10220
This shock absorber contains highly
pressurized nitrogen gas. For prop-
er handling, read and understand
the following information before
handling the shock absorber. The
manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for property damage or
personal injury that may result from
improper handling.
● Do not tamper with or attempt to
open the gas cylinder.
● Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber to an open flame or other
high heat sources, otherwise it
may explode due to excessive
gas pressure.
● Do not deform or damage the
gas cylinder in any way, as this
will result in poor damping per-
formance.
● Always have a Yamaha dealer
service the shock absorber.
