Control functions air pressure, push the black bleed valve button. NOTICE: Do not exceed 1034 kPa (10.3 kgf/cm², 150 psi). [ECS00732] TIP When removing the connector, the sound of air escaping may be heard, but this is from the pump hose, not the shock absorber. 7. Install the air valve cap. TIP If the front shock absorber bottoms too easily or rolls too much during cornering, increase the air pressure by 34 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm², 5 psi). If the shock absorber is too firm and you want a more compliant ride, decrease the air pressure by 34 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm², 5 psi). ESU10925 Adjusting the damping forces of the front shock absorbers (PZ50GT) EWS00740 WARNING The damping forces of the left and right shock absorbers must be adjusted to the same settings. Uneven settings can cause poor handling and loss of stability. 1. Bleed valve button Air pressure range: 345 kPa (3.4 kgf/cm², 50 psi) to 1034 kPa (10.3 kgf/cm², 150 psi) Recommended air pressure: 483 kPa (4.8 kgf/cm², 70 psi) TIP 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. Compression damping force The compression damping force of each shock absorber can be adjusted by turning its compression damping force adjusting knob. To increase the compression damping force, turn the adjusting knob in direction (a). To decrease the compression damping force, turn the adjusting knob in direction (b). 1.

TIP
To allow pressure to escape from the pump
and the shock absorber, push the button half-
way down and hold it. To allow only a small
amount of pressure to escape, push the but-
ton all the way down and quickly release it.
6.
Remove the hose connector from the air
valve.
TIP
When removing the connector, the sound of
air escaping may be heard, but this is from the
pump hose, not the shock absorber.
7.
Install the air valve cap.
TIP
If the front shock absorber bottoms too easily
or rolls too much during cornering, increase
the air pressure by 34 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm², 5 psi).
If the shock absorber is too firm and you want
a more compliant ride, decrease the air pres-
sure by 34 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm², 5 psi).

Adjusting the damping forces of the
front shock absorbers (PZ50GT)
WARNING
EWS00740
The damping forces of the left and right
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
shock absorber can be adjusted by turning its
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).
