Dual Suspension bikes (DS) are equipped with a front fork as
well as a rear suspension generally located below the seat.
The piston works in conjunction with a spring to allow the bike
to rotate on a pivot point. Ensure all attaching hardware is
secured and there is no lateral movement of the rear triangle.
The amount of Rear Suspension travel can be adjusted by
turning the adjusting plate. Clockwise will increase spring
tension and decrease travel, while turning counter-clockwise
will decrease spring tension and increase travel.
There must be enough tension on the spring
to hold the spring plate in place. Failure to do
this may cause the mechanism to fail.
