In order to achieve optimum suspension performance, Felt recommends performing a simple pivot checking
procedure after every 100 hours of riding or annually, whichever comes first. If any issues are discovered,
please refer to the bearing removal/installation section or take your bike to the nearest Felt dealer.
Pivot Checking Procedure
1. Check torque on all pivot bolts. If bolts are loose, remove, clean and apply Loctite 242 to the threads,
then tighten to correct torque (see technical section for torque values).
2. With the shock installed, apply pressure vertically and horizontally to feel for any play in the pivots.
If play is discovered, please refer to the technical section for more information and instructions for
bearing removal/installation.
3. With the shock removed, move the suspension through its travel. There should be little to no friction.
If there is any friction, please refer to the technical section for more information and instructions for
bearing removal/installation.
