Shock absorbers contain compressed nitrogen. Attempting to service shock absorbers can cause an explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. Servicing requires special tools and training from Öhlins. (17604a)
1. Service for the shocks is recommended every 18,600 miles (30,000 km) or 3 years.
2. Maintain product packaging to be used to send the shocks to an Öhlins certified dealer for service, as needed.
