WARNING!
the geometry of your bike will change. This can lead to steering problems and a
highter bottom bracket which unables you to place your feed on the ground. If
you are going to install a shock which is shorter then the original installed one
it will have the same inverted negative effects. All this can result into a loss of
control and serious injuries or even death.
2. Remove the old shock off your bike. Clean the inside surfaced of the frame and swing arm,remove
any dirt and make sure that all surfaces are clean.
3. Make sure that the inner and the outerdiameter, as well as the width of the aluminium bushings
are correct to fix the rear shock properly and without any play to the frame and swing arm.
4. Check the movement of your new SR SUNTOUR rear shock by releasing all air and moving the
swing arm through its complete stroke. Make sure that there is sufficient clearance between the
rear shock and all other components. Also keep in mind to check the clearance between your
rear shock and a lowered seat post. Make sure the shock does not hit against the seatpost in any
position.

even death.

SET-UP YOUR REAR SHOCK

To get the maximum performance out of your SR SUNTOUR rear shock, it is necessary to adjust
the "SAG" and as well the rebound damping of your rear shock. Please find all instructions stated
below.

SETTING SAG

The SAG is the compression which is just caused by the body weight, seating position and the
frames geometry and not as a result of riding. Every rider has a different weight and seating
position, therefore the rear shock will sag more or less. To assure a proper function of your rear
shock and not to interfere the performance of it, setting a proper SAG is the only way to find the
correct air pressur for your rear shock.
