NOTICE
Do not force the rebound damping force ad-
juster beyond the fully seated position, or the
adjusting mechanism may be damaged.
NOTE
Adjustment of the rebound damping adjuster for
the rear suspension will slightly affect the com-
pression damping force. Always make any damp-
ing adjustments in small steps and test their ef-
fects before using them in competition.

Adjustment
(Gas
Reservoir)
There are two adjustments you can make to the
rear shock absorber gas reservoir.
To adjust the high speed compression damping,
turn the high speed compression damping adjuster.
To adjust the low speed compression damping,
turn the low speed compression damping adjuster
with a standard tip screwdriver.
If the damping feels too soft or too stiff, adjust it in
