COMPRESSION DAMPER INSTALL
1
2
3
Fill the damper leg approximately
3/4 full with Maxima 5wt fork oil.
Install the axle into the fork without a
hub or wheel. Cover the damper leg
opening with a lint-free towel. Using
a wood block or similar raised support
underneath the axle, compress the
fork 10-15 times.
Pour additional 5wt fork oil into
the damper leg until the oil height
(space from the top of the damper
leg to the top of the oil) is set at
the proper level of 87mm. An
oil height setting tool used for
motorcycle forks similar to the one
pictured makes this job easier.
Oil
87mm
NOTICE
The raised support should be wide
enough and long enough to safely
support the axle as well as tall
enough to eliminate contact between
the oor and the comp rod end tting
or rebound knob. Do not overtighten
the axle bolt.
