DANGER!
REPLACING THE SPRING
• Hang the bike in an assembly stand.
• Relax the shock fully. Rotate the adjust
-
ment ring counterclockwise.
• Prevent the swingarm from accidentally
folding down with the help of a stable
cord or cable ties between the frame and
swingarm.
• Loosen the bolts at both ends of the shock
with a 5 mm Allen wrench and a 10 mm
wrench. Carefully remove both bolts. Look
for the washers and remember their orien
-
tation for later reassembly.
• Remove the bushings B from the side of
the shock with the adjustment ring.
• Turn the adjustment ring A until it is
removed completely from the shock.
If the swingarm is not secured,
it could fall down injuring you
or damaging the bike.
If the bike is placed on the
ground while disassembling the
shock, the rear swingarm can
fold under suddenly. There is
a risk of pinching your hands
between the bike frame and
swingarm or damaging the bike
itself!
