dOGbOne & shOck mOuntinG assembly Install the shock and
dogbone on the frame. Insert a 31.0 mm Ti female bolt through the
drive side of the frame for the shock. Use a Ti male bolt on the non-drive
to tighten the shock into place with a 5mm allen key. Support the bottom of
the shock while tightening the shock to the frame.
Torque: 90-95 in-LB
dOGbOne & shOck mOuntinG assembly
Use a dead blow hammer
to install two 15mm reducers into the lower portion of the shock.
dOGbOne & shOck mOuntinG assembly
Install the dogbone using
a 40.5mm Ti female bolt and a Ti male bolt. Orient the dogbone so
the Yeti logo is facing the rear of the frame, and use a dead blow hammer to
insert 40.5mm female bolt through the top of the dogbone and the frame.
Use the Ti male bolt on the non-drive side to tighten the dogbone into place
with a 5mm allen key.
tip: Use the fox guide pin tool and a dead blow hammer to help guide any
female Ti bolts through frames and frame components.
dOGbOne and shOck mOuntinG assembly
Align the shock and
dogbone. Orient the lower portion of the shock between the lower
bearings on the dogbone. If necessary, loosen the pinch bolts on the
dogbone to allow the bearings to move and accommodate the shock.
rear trianGle assembly Slide the swingarm over the main pivot
bore, using the grooves in the swingarm to properly align over the
bore.
thread PreP Yeti recommends prepping all bolt threads
at once on your work bench with Loctite or grease. This will
ensure that all bolts are used in assembly. The medium
strength (blue) Loctite formula along with proper torque is
ideal to keep the bolts snug.
dOGbOne and shOck mOuntinG assembly
Install two M4x10mm
bolts into the bottom of the dogbone. Prep the threads with locktite
and torque the bolts tight enough to hold the bearings in place. The bolts
will be torqued to spec later in the assembly.
mOuntinG rear trianGle
Use the fox guide pin to align and
hold the seatstays, dogbone, and shock together. Use a dead blow
hammer to push the pin through the above mentioned components.
mOuntinG rear trianGle
Install the main pivot pin (female) from
the drive side of the bike. Use a dead blow hammer to push the pin
into place. Once the female pivot pin is in place, install and tighten the
male pivot bolt with a 5mm allen key.
Torque:115-125 in/LBs
tip: While installing the female main pivot pin, align the swingarm with the
main pivot bore in the front triangle with your free index finger. Use grease
on the threads of the male bolt and on the outside of the female pin. This
will help prevent binding, seizing, or stripping over time.
