ESU10925
Adjusting the damping forces of the
front shock absorbers (FX10)
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).
Rebound damping force
The rebound damping force of each shock
absorber can be adjusted by turning its 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).
TIP
The damping forces will not decrease past the
minimum levels even if the adjusting knobs
are turned out more than the minimum set-
tings.
