2.2a Suspension adjustment
The front and rear suspension can both be fine-tuned to work well for you.
The rear suspension can be adjusted by a combination of selecting one of three different hardness and five
different fitting positions for the elastomer.
The front suspension can be adjusted by selecting one of three different hardness elastomers.
Rear suspension
The adjustment is accomplished by the selection of elastomers and mounting positions. The elastomers are
available in three hardnesses: Yellow/ soft, Red/medium, Green/ hard. There are five mounting positions; the
lowest/ closest to the main pivot (numbered 1 here) will make the suspension feel softer. The highest / furthest
from the main pivot position (5) will make the suspension feel harder.
To setup the suspension you will need to select an elastomer and position it by using the table
below.
Elastomer positions
Unclip the rear suspension by pulling the stainless steel clip on the left hand side over it’s pin. The purpose of
this clip is to keep the rear swing arm from dangling when the trike is picked up; it is only unclipped when
changing the elastomer.
The elastomer is removed by pulling and twisting it off of the shock pin.
With the back end hinged open, screw the shock pin into the required hole in the shock plate.
Firmly push the elastomer back onto the pin and close the swing arm back onto the stainless steel clip.
This will give you a good starting point. Your trike should perform properly like this; however, it is worthwhile
spending a little time experimenting with settings to find one that suits you best.
