If the pressure increases rapidly, check to make sure that the pump is properly connected and tightened onto the air valve. To decrease the air pressure, push the black bleed valve button 4. NOTE: @ To allow pressure to escape from the pump and the shock absorber, push the button halfway down and hold it. To allow only a small amount of pressure to escape, push the button all the way down and quickly release it. @ 6. Remove the hose connector from the air valve. NOTE: @ When removing the connector, the sound of air escaping may be heard, but this is from the pump hose, not the shock absorber. @ Air pressure range: 345 kPa (3.4 kgf/cm2, 50 psi) to 1,034 kPa (10.3 kgf/cm2, 150 psi) Recommended air pressure: 483 kPa (4.8 kgf/cm2, 70 psi) CAUTION: @ Do not exceed 1,034 kPa (10.3 kgf/cm2, 150 psi). @ 7. Install the air valve cap. NOTE: @ If the front suspension bottoms too easily or rolls too much during cornering, increase the air pressure by 34 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm2, 5 psi). If the suspension is too firm and you want a more compliant ride, decrease the air pressure by 34 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm2, 5 psi). @ CAUTION: @ The air pressure of the left and right shock absorbers must be set to the same setting. Uneven settings can cause poor handling and loss of stability. @ 8-25
