Do not push the shock rod straight
through the lower shock body
assembly; O-ring damage may result.
Twist the shock rod through the
lower shock body assembly.
Extend the shock shaft
completely. Fill the shock
body with the shock oil. For
the FRONT shocks (short)
use 500cSt oil. For the
REAR shocks (long) use
600cSt oil.
Move the shock shaft up and
down a few times to release
the air bubbles trapped
beneath the piston.
Orient the filled shock
vertically for several
minutes with the shock
shaft fully extended. The
remaining air bubbles will
release.
Install the shock membrane
into the groove in the
upper shock cap.
Gently place the shock cap
assembly onto the filled
shock body. Excess oil will
spill from the shock. Screw
the shock cap onto the
body by only a few turns.
