150 MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT NOTICE Inject air little by little so that air pressure does not rise rapidly. Air pressure exceeding 290 kPa (3.0 kg/cm2, 43 psi) may damage the oil seal. Try to set the air pressure of the left and right shock absorbers as equally as possible. WARNING Excessively high or low air pressure can adversely affect handling, creating the potential for a crash resulting in serious injury or death. Be sure to adjust the air pressure within the specified range. Only use compressed air or nitrogen gas for filling the shocks. Under normal use heat is generated within the shock, so never use oxygen or any other kind of explosive gas to prevent the possibility of explosion. Do not incinerate the rear shock absorber since it may explode. Rebound Damping Force The rebound damping force adjuster on each rear shock absorber has 4

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
NOTICE
Inject air little by little so that air
pressure does not rise rapidly.
Air pressure exceeding 290 kPa
(3.0 kg/cm
2
, 43 psi) may damage
the oil seal.
Try to set the air pressure of the
left and right shock absorbers as
equally as possible.
WARNING
Excessively high or low air pres-
sure can adversely affect han-
dling, creating the potential for
a crash resulting in serious in-
jury or death.
Be sure to ad-
just the air pressure within the
specified range. Only use com-
pressed air or nitrogen gas for
filling the shocks. Under normal
use heat is generated within the
shock, so never use oxygen or
any other kind of explosive gas
to prevent the possibility of ex-
plosion.
Do not incinerate the
rear shock absorber since it may
explode.
Rebound Damping Force
The rebound damping force adjuster
on each rear shock absorber has 4
