CHANGING THE COIL SPRING
1. With a 26mm 6-point socket wrench, loosen and remove the preload topcap.
2. Remove the black spring spacers (two spacers for 130mm travel, 1 for 100mm travel, none for 80mm travel).
3. Compress the fork slightly and remove the coil spring. You may need to firmly pull up on the spring to disengage it from the plunger shaft. Wipe the
spring dry with a rag and check the color code.
4. Install the new spring by dropping it into the upper tube, then install the spacer(s).
5. Install and torque the topcap to 165 in-lbs (1864 N-cm).
6. Measure and adjust sag as described above.
