Control functions 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. NOTICE: Do not exceed 1034 kPa (10.3 kgf/cm², 150 psi). [ECS00733] 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. Push the hose connector lock lever down, and then remove the hose connector from the air valve. TIP 1 70 30 80 20 10 100 0 90 50 60 40 psi 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. 1. Pressure gauge (low-pressure meter) 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). ESU10926 1. Bleed valve button Adjusting the damping forces of the front shock absorbers (FX10/FX10RTRS/FX10XT) EWS00740 Air pressure range: FX10M53S 345-1034 kPa (3.5-10.3 kgf/cm², 50-150 psi) FX10M62S 345-1034 kPa (3.5-10.3 kgf/cm², 50-150 psi) Recommended air pressure: FX10M53S 483 kPa (4.8 kgf/cm², 70 psi) FX10M62S 483 kPa (4.8 kgf/cm², 70 psi) 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. Compression damping force The compression damping force of each shock absorber can be adjusted by turning its compression damping force adjusting knob. 26
