PROCEDURE
DISPOSE OF FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER
Fully extend the front shock absorber piston rod, and fix it at an angle in a vise or similar tool.
Using a drill or similar tool, slowly make a hole in the area (A-B) shown in the illustration to discharge the gas inside.
CAUTION:
Always use proper safety equipment and be careful when drilling because shards of metal may fly about.
Note
The gas is colorless, odorless and harmless.
Since the discharging gas may cause chips to scatter, cover the drill with a piece of cloth when making the hole.
