Optional double
O-ring setup
Thread the 2-56 x 5/16” Cap Head Screw into Shock Shaft us-
ing a 5/64” (or 2mm) Allen wrench.
Thread the Shaft into the Shock End (using the 2-56 Cap Head
Screw) until the edge on the Shaft (between the smooth and
threaded sections) meets with the edge of the Shock end. Now,
holding the Shaft and Screw, turn the Shock End an additional
2.5 rotations. Usually it is best to use half-rotation increments
(
DO NOT THREAD IT ON MORE THAN THIS
). Remove
the Cap Head Screw.
Place a drop of Shock Oil onto the end of the Shaft with the hole
in it and slide it through the assembled Shock Body as shown.
Install the Piston using the 2-56 x 1/4” Button Head Screw.
Install the Shock Adjustment Nut O-ring into the Shock Adjust-
ment Nut before installing the Nut onto the Shock Body.

Ensure the Shaft is fully extended when fi lling the Shock.
Fill the Shock Body with 40wt. Shock Oil until the Oil is ap-
proximately 1/16” from the top of the Body.
“Work” the Shock Shaft up and down a few times. This will re-
lease the air bubbles trapped beneath the Piston. Place the fi lled
Shock, in the upright position, off to the side for a few minutes
until the air bubbles escape from the Oil.
Once all the air bubbles are out of the Oil, gently place the Shock
Bladder onto the Shock as shown. Some Oil should “bleed”
from the Shock.
Place the plastic Shock Top into the Shock Cap (top) (NOTE:
There are two Shock Tops, use two dots to designate left side
shocks and one dot to designate right side shocks.
Screw the Shock Cap onto the Body until some resistance is
felt.
Slowly push the Shock Shaft up. This will bleed excess Oil
from the Shock.
Tighten the cap all the way down
by hand.
Move the Shock Shaft up and down. The Shaft should be easy
to push up into the Body of the Shock. If increased pressure is
felt towards the top, there is to much oil in the Shock. Loosen
the Shock Cap and “bleed” the Shock as done previously.
Make sure each pair (front/rear) Shocks have the same rebound
and compression. This is checked by holding one Shock in each
hand horizontally and pushing them together by the Shock End.
Watch carefully to ensure that both compress evenly. Now re-
lease both Shocks and again watch carefully as they should re-
bound the same.
If there are differences, adjust the Shocks with the amount of
Oil, either adding or bleeding (
THERE SHOULD BE NO
AIR IN THE SHOCK WHEN COMPLETE
).
