Control functions ECS00730 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:
ECS00730
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 pres-

Adjusting the ski damping force
(FX10)
CAUTION:
ECS00260
The damping forces for the left and right
ski shock absorbers must be adjusted to
the same settings. Uneven settings can
cause poor handling and loss of stability.
Compression damping force
The compression damping force of each ski
shock absorber can be adjusted by turning
the compression damping force adjusting
knob.
To increase the compression damping force,
turn the adjusting knob in direction (a). To de-
crease the compression damping force, turn
the adjusting knob in direction (b).
Rebound damping force
The rebound damping force of each ski shock
absorber can be adjusted by turning the re-
bound damping force adjusting knob.
To increase the rebound damping force, turn
the adjusting knob in direction (a). To de-
crease the rebound damping force, turn the
adjusting knob in direction (b).
NOTE:
The damping forces will not decrease past the
minimum levels even if the adjusting knobs
are turned out more than the minimum set-
tings.
