- Disconnect lower side pipe (B ) of rear shock absorber.
9. Install a leak check plug (SST: KV40108400) (A) to the removed pipe and tighten the leak check plug to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
 O-ring must be free of scratches and damage.
 Piping must be kept free of the intrusion of dust and dirt.
10. Loosen lock nuts of needle valves B and D of PPMU and then tighten needle valves B and D.
11. Loosening position of needle valve of PPMU varies according to shock absorber that is che cked. Loosen needle valve of PPMU
by approximately 2 rotations, as per the following table.
CAUTION:
