Section 08 REAR SUSPENSION
Subsection 01 (SC-10 SUSPENSION)
Renew if any faults are present.
All Models Equipped with Gas
Pressurized Shock
NOTE: Gas pressurized shocks are light gray or
purple painted, or bare aluminum.
Gas shock can be inspected as follows:
Because of gas pressure, strong resistance is felt
when compressing shock. When released, the
shock will extend unassisted. Renew as required.
If suspecting an internal gas leak between oil
chamber and gas chamber, check shock as fol-
lows:
Install shock in a vise clamping on its bottom eye-
let with its rod upward.
Let it stand for 5 minutes.
Completely push down the shock rod then re-
lease. Rod must come out at a steady speed. If
speed suddenly increases particularly at end of
extension, replace shock.
All Types of Shocks
If suspecting a frozen shock proceed as follows:
Place shock in a freezer (temperature below 0°C
(32°F)) for 4 hours. Push down on rod and note
its resistance, compare to a new shock. If shock
is frozen it will be impossible to compress.
