semblies
These shock absorber assemblies are equipped
with a spring preload adjusting nut, a rebound
damping force adjusting screw, with a compres-
sion damping force adjusting bolt (for fast com-

force adjusting screw (for slow compression damp-

●
Suspension components become hot during
operation. Never touch the compression
damping force adjusting screw, the rebound
damping force adjusting screw or the oil res-
ervoir with your bare hand or skin until sus-
pension components have cooled.
●
Always adjust the shock absorber assem-
blies on the left and right side to the same
setting. Uneven adjustment can cause poor
handling and loss of stability, which could
lead to an accident.
