SHORT shock rod

OIL

Shock Silicone

Oil 600cSt

Fill until shock oil

nearly overflows

Gently move the piston up and

down to get rid of air bubbles

Pull down the piston

1. Install the pivot ball into the composite pivot mount.

2. Extend the shock rod so the piston is near the bottom of the shock body.

3. Hold shock upright and slightly overfill the shock body with shock oil.

4. Let the oil settle and allow air bubbles to rise to the top. Slowly move the piston up and down

until no more air bubbles appear. Add shock oil as necessary.

5. Pull the piston most of the way out of the shock body.

6. Insert the top composite pivot mount in the alu collar. Ensure the notch in the collar fits over

the tab on the top pivot mount.

7. Insert the rubber membrane in the alu collar. The membrane must be installed properly.

8. Place the top assembly on the shock body, then thread it fully onto the shock body. Excess oil

should spill out.

Shock bleeding:

Check the shock for proper operation. The shock rod must move in and out freely with only

“hydraulic” damping.

The shock rod should not extend out by itself when pushed in and released. If this happens,

extend the shock rod, loosen the top collar, and then slightly push the shock rod into the shock

body. Excess oil should escape out the top of the shock. Retighten the top collar and retest. Repeat

bleeding as required.

The shock rod should not be drawn into the shock body when pulled out and released. If this

happens, remove the top collar assembly (including bladder). Fill the shock body with more shock

oil and reassemble. Retest. Repeat bleeding as required.

SHOCK ABSORBERS

Insert 10mm clips or insert clips

according to track conditions

Front spring (short)

Use tool for easy clip installation and removal

FRONT SHOCKS (short)

CUT AWAY VIEW

REAR SHOCKS (long)

IMPORTANT!

Both front shocks must be the same overall length.

IMPORTANT!

Both rear shocks must be the same overall length.

Grip the shock rod at top of exposed

threads with side cutting pliers. Be

careful not to damage the shock rod.
