Suspension Tips & Troubleshooting

 

* When installing your rear shock put a little upward pressure on your swing arm before tightening bolts in order to take out any play. If you don't do this you can get false sag readings. Torque your bolts.

 

* When you service your shock it is a good idea to grease your linkage, check for rusted bearings, and pay attention to torque on the swing arm pivot bolts. Some OEM torque specs are excessive & cause binding in the linkage.

* Set you sag! Generally should be set to 100-105mm. Try different settings to see what works best for you.

* When installing your fork, pay close attention to properly aligning your front end. Refer to your owner's manual. Misalined forks can cause binding which will cause your forks to feel harsh and will lead to leaky seals & worn bushings. Torque your pinch bolts.

* Take the time to learn what your clickers do. Even the best suspension can be improved from track to track by fine tuning your clickers. Try different settings, & remember that you can always go back to the stock settings.

* We recommend changing fork and shock oil at 20 hour intervals. You will be amazed at what fresh oil will do for your suspension.
