Problem
Following a jump the rear end of
the bike dashes me forward
The spring can rotate axially on the
shock absorber
The shock absorber feels slow and is
too supportive on the rear end, the
bike is too unbalanced towards the
front end
I can't obtain the compression I
want by working on the entire
preload
Backlash on the extension regulator
Metallic noise between the bike and
the shock absorber
The shock absorber is too soft and
the setting seems to be different
than usual
Oil leakage
Scratched stem
Noise/Whistle coming from the
shock absorber hydraulics
The performance of the shock
absorber changes too quickly
Cause
Rebound regulation is too
open
Preload lower than the
minimum allowed (10 mm)
Spring too preloaded or
compression too slow
Spring too soft or too stiff
The screw is loose
No clearance or backlash
between the components
Check the reservoir
pressure
Leakage from the seals
Debris or accidents have
carved the anodized surface
Pressure below the required
specs or air inside the ducts
Excessive use of the
damping. Exhausted oil or
the presence of air inside
the ducts. Excessive
ambient temperature or
overheating caused by the
bike
Solution
Rotate clockwise the rebound with 1/2 click and try
Rotate clockwise the shock preload ring
Rotate anti-clockwise the shock preload ring or rotate
anti-clockwise the compression regulator with 1/2 click
Change the spring
Tighten the screw
Visually inspect the shock absorber. Inspect the
couplings based on the bike manufacturer's
specifications. Inspect the uniball and verify the correct
functioning
If the pressure is correct and the issue isn't solved, do
not use the shock absorber. Get in touch with customer
support for inspection and servicing
