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.
Push the hose connector lock lever
down, and then remove the hose connec-
tor 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 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).
ESU13290
Adjusting the compression damping
force of the rear shock absorber
(FX10M53)
The compression damping force can be ad-
justed by turning the 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).
NOTICE:
Do not continue to turn the adjusting knob
in direction (a) after it stops. The shock ab-
sorber could be damaged and damping
force adjustments will not be able to be
made. Do not turn the adjusting knob in di-
rection (b) more than 12 click(s). Even if
the adjusting knob is continually turned
after 12 click(s), there will be no change in
the damping force. Be sure to stop the ad-
justing knob at a position where there is a
click.
