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

will result in poor damping per-
formance.
Always have a Yamaha dealer
service the shock absorber.
