ASSEMBLE SHOCKS
Install the #6469 large O-ring over the thread of
each shock body.
On the #6459 (6417*) front shock shaft, install a
#6299 E-clip on both sides of the #6465 (#2) piston
from step #1.
On the #6458 (6416*) rear shock shaft, install a
#6299 E-clip on both sides of a #6465 (#1) piston
from step #1.
Insert the shock shaft assemblies into the shock
bodies.
Push the #7217 pivot ball and eyelet together.
As you hold the shaft with a rag and needlenose
pliers next to the threads, screw the eyelet onto the
end of each shock shaft.

FILLING THE SHOCKS
Holding the shocks upright, fill
with oil to the top of the shock
body.
Slowly move the shaft up and
down several times to allow air
bubbles to escape to the top.
Refill with oil to the top of the
shock body.
Push the shaft in until the
piston is level with top of shock
body. The oil will slightly bulge
up above the shock body.
Fill the #6428 shock cap
about halfway with oil and install
it onto the body. Try to retain as
much oil as possible during
assembly. The shaft will extend
out as you tighten the cap down.
SETTING THE REBOUND
Move the shock shaft in and
out a few times and then push it
all the way in. It should be easy
to push the shaft in until the
eyelet hits the body.

HOW TO
TIGHTEN
THE CAP
ON YOUR
SHOCK
Then the shaft should push itself
out approximately 1/4" to 3/8"
(6.3mm - 9.5mm").
If the shock does not push out
this far, there is not enough oil in
them. Add just a little oil and try
steps 6-7 again.
If the shocks push out farther
than the distance in step seven, or
you cannot push the shaft in until
the eyelet hits the body, there is too
much oil. Loosen the cap a half turn
(with the shaft extended) and pump
out a small amount of oil by
pushing the shaft in. Retighten the
cap and try steps 6-7 again.
