Shock Maintenance:
If you need to only refill your shocks with oil, follow the steps
above only then move to the shock bleeding steps.
If your shocks leak from the bottom shock cap, follow all
shock maintenance sections.
Replace the inner O-Rings in the bottom cap, then begin
the shock oil filling and bleeding process.

Shock Bleeding Steps:
1. Pull shock shaft down.
2. Fill shock body 3/4 full with silicone
shock fluid.
3. Slowly move the shock shaft up and
down to remove air from under the
piston.
4. Wait for bubbles to come to surface.
5. Fill shock body to top with silicone
shock fluid.
6. Place a drop of oil in the cap and on
cap threads.
7. Install cap and tighten completely.
8. Unscrew the cap 3/4 turns and tilt
the shock at a slight angle.
9. Slowly compress shaft all the way to
bleed excess silicone shock fluid and
air. You should see bubbles coming
out from under the cap. (use rag
around shock to catch excess fluid).
10. With the shaft compressed, tighten
the cap and re-check for pressure at
the top of the stroke. If there is still
pressure, repeat steps 3-9.
Some residual
shock fluid may
appear from your
first few runs
around the shock
cap as a result of
bleeding.
!
Bladder Installation
As you install the shock cap with the bladder, it will force
out any extra fluid. If you install the cap with the shaft
fully extended, you are running FULL REBOUND.This
means the shaft will fully rebound when compressed.
To run less rebound, unthread the cap 1-2 turns and
compress the shaft to the desired position and
re-tighten the cap with the shaft compressed.
Start with no rebound.
