Warning

• Whenever drilling into a front shock absorber, always wear protective eye wear as the gas in the shock absorber is pressurized and could spray metal filings into the eyes.

1. Set the front shock absorber horizontally or with the piston pointed downward.

2. Drill a 2—3 mm {0.08—0.11 in} hole at point A shown in the figure and exhaust the gas.
