2. Slide the pin and washers over to the other hole.
See the diagram to the right for proper
orientation.
3. Tighten the 5mm pivot bolt until there is no play
in the rockers.
CAUTION: Be careful not to over tighten. If the pivot
bolts are too tight, the pivots will not move freely.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS:
Mountain bikes are amazing products. We know of no other off road racing machine that can put up
with the kind of abuse a mountain bike takes with relatively little service. None the less, it has once
been said, "If you take care of your equipment, your equipment will take care of you!" This is why
your Quasi-Moto frame is designed to be easy to adjust and service. We highly suggest that you take
the time to check all your equipment before every ride.
You will need the following tools:
•
4, 5, 6 and 8mm allen wrenches
•
10mm wrench
•
Crank wrench and puller
It is very important to check every nut and bolt on your frame after the first couple of rides. Bushings
and pivots will break-in and may loosen or develop play. The most important areas to check after the
first ride are the 8mm main pivot bolt and the 4mm Horst-Link bolts.
The main pivot on your Quasi-Moto uses sealed cartridge bearings and should require little or no
maintenance. The Horst pivot bushings used on your frame are very durable and do not require
constant lubrication.
If, over time, the rear end on your frame develops side play, take the following steps to track down
the reason:
1. Check your rear hub bearing adjustment and spoke tension first to make sure your rear wheel
is not the culprit.
2. Tighten the 6mm pivot bolts until there is no play in the rockers. Be careful not to over-
tighten.
3. Make sure the 4mm Horst-link bolts are tight.
4. Re-check the rear end for play. If there is still play, move on to step 7.
5. Remove drive side crank arm.
6. Tighten the 8mm pivot bolt at the lower yoke until there is no play in the lower swingarm. Be
careful not to over tighten, a 3 inch allen wrench can generate enough torque to adequately
tighten the main pivot bolt. Over-tightening may result in crushed bearings.
7. Re-check the rear end for play. If this has not solved the problem, see BEARING
REPLACEMENT.
8. Re-install drive side crank arm and Go Ride!
