pressure in 5 PSI increments until the desired
performance level is achieved.
Again, always reset the shock body chamber pressure to
the factory specification charge.
If one shock appears to be too soft, place the vehicle on
flat, level ground. Stand on the sled, and rock the skis back
and forth to verify issue.
Determine if the shock is leaking or has leaked an oil, then
determine why. Look for shaft damage and replace the
shaft and seal if damage is found.
If no oil leaks are found, verify there are no gas leaks at the
charge ports. Replace the charge ports as required.
After inspecting both shocks, recharge both shocks to the
desired pressure settings and specifications.
SHOCK MAINTENANCE
Ryde FX Air 2.0 Shock Disassembly
1. Remove the shock from the snowmobile. Wash the entire
shock assembly in parts cleaner, then dry with compressed
air or a clean shop towel.
2. Remove lower shock body mount eyelet components.
Secure shock in a soft-jawed table vise.
3. Remove both small bottom head screws form each pressure
valve assemblies located at both ends of the shock.
4. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, carefully loosen both
pressure valve assemblies counter-clockwise two full
rotations. Allow all of the nitrogen gas to fully escape past
each pressure valve assembly o-ring.
WARNING
Before servicing a gas shock it is important that all the
gas pressure be discharged from the shock.
Nitrogen gas is under extreme pressure. Protective
eyewear must be worn at all times to avoid risk of injury
while servicing shocks or using compressed air.
CAUTION
Always clamp the lower mount of the shock in a vise. Any
other method of securing the shock body may deform
the shock body cylinder.
