Very Important Information
WARNING!
Be sure to read carefully the instructions below before using your suspension fork. Inappropriate usage of your suspension fork may cause damage to the
product and/or injuries or death to the rider.
1. Suspension forks contain fluid and gas under extreme pressure. Warnings included in these instructions must be followed in order to reduce the possibility of injuries
and possible death. Never try to open any SR SUNTOUR cartridge, as stated above they contain fluids and gases under high pressure. Opening any SR SUNTOUR
cartridge risks serious injury.
2. Only use genuine SR SUNTOUR parts. The use of aftermarket replacement and spare parts will void any warranty and may cause failure to the fork. Failure could
result in an accident, injury or even death.
3. SR SUNTOUR suspension forks are designed for the usage by a single rider.
4. Always be equipped with proper safety gear. This includes a properly fitted and fastened helmet. According to your riding style you should use additional safety
protection. Make sure your equipment is in flawless condition to ensure adequate protection in the event of an accident.
5. When using a bike carrier always fully release the quick release fastener. Not properly unfastening the quick release may result in bending, breaking, or other
structural damage while removing your bike of the bike carrier. If your bike has fallen off the carrier please do not ride until it has been inspected by a qualified bike
mechanic. When using a bike carrier that secures the bike by clamping the fork’s dropouts, make sure to fasten rear wheel as well. An inaccurate fastened rear wheel
could allow the bike to jiggle which may result in breakage of the dropouts.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the existing fork from your bike. Afterwards remove the crown race from the fork.
2. Measure the length of your old fork's steer tube against the length of the SR SUNTOUR fork steer (stem). SR SUNTOUR suspension forks are delivered with a
standard steer tube length of 255mm. Therefore the steer tube may need cutting to the proper length.
3. In order to define the proper length of your steer tube you can apply the following formula:
FRAME'S HEADS TUBE (GOOSE NECK) + HEAD SET STACK STEM'S CLAMP HEIGHT - 3mm CLEARANCE
Warning!
IF YOUR SR SUNTOUR FORKS DOES COME WITH A THREADLESS STEERER TUBE DO NOT ADD A THREAD TO IT.
SUNTOUR'S FORK STEERERS ARE A ONE TIME PRESS FIT WHICH CAN NOT BE REMOVED. DO NOT TRY TO REPLACE THE
STEERER TUBE WITH A THREADED STEERER. THIS WILL RESULT IN FAILURE OF THE PRODUCT AND/OR CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH TO THE RIDER.
