ened onto the air valve. To decrease the
air pressure, push the black bleed valve
button. NOTICE: Do not exceed 1406
kPa (14.1 kgf/cm², 200 psi).
[ECS00981]
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).

Adjusting the damping forces of the
center and rear shock absorbers
(FX10RTRS), or damping force of the
rear shock absorber (FX10/FX10XT)
NOTICE

● Do not continue to turn the adjuster 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 adjuster in direction (b)
beyond the adjustable range. Even if the
adjuster is continually turned beyond
the adjustable range, there will be no
change in the damping force.
