BEFORE EACH RIDE

Before each ride, check that the seatpost is secure

d

 in the 

frame and that all clamping bolts are tightened to their 

specified torque values.  Make sure that your seatpost does not 

show sign of excessive wear and is not leaking.

 

Check that the 

seatpost functions properly.

 

Make sure that the maximum raised 

position of the seatpost is not too high for the rider to properly 

maintain control of the bicycle.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Your REVIVE seatpost requires periodic service to maintain 

consistent function.

 

Please check our website 

www.bikeyoke.com for detailed service intervall documents.

 

Please see your local dealer or contact one of our service 

centers

 to have a service performed.

Routine maintenance should be done at regular intervals. 

Interval duration will depend on frequency of use and 

conditions.  

We recommend to

 clean and lubricated 

the inside 

of the lower tube

 once every 6 months. Wet or severely dusty 

conditions will require more frequent maintenance. If high 

pressure water is used to wash the bicycle, more frequent 

maintenance is recommended due to the increased chance of 

water entering the system. If degradation of performance 

occurs, perform maintenance as soon as possible.
