10. This bypass valve has six holes in it with a shim on the other side
that must
be
opened to all°" the oil.to pass. You must do this when
re-filling or bleeding air out. Use a long rod 1/8• d;ameter or less
to depress the valve thru one of the holes. This allows the oil
to
drain down into the lower fork leg.
11. Pour in approximately 18-21 ounces of Bel-Ray HVI lOW shock and fork
oil.
12. To bleed the air from the inner tube you must keep the valve open
for about 3 minutes. Wait till there are no more air bubbles in the
on.
13. The standard measurement of the oil level is when the damping rod
is extended
(12Qmn)
from the fork tube, yet at the same time keeping
the oil level flush with the bleed valve (Bypass valve.)
14. Quantity of the oil in the fork affects only the last fifty percent
of the travel. More oil in the fork will result in less tendency to
bottom out.
15. Never exceed an oil level height of l30mm and never go below lOOmm.
