Owner`s manual

Dual Suspension

Dual Suspension bikes (DS) are equipped with a front fork as

well as a rear suspension generally located below the seat. The

piston works in conjunction with a spring to allow the bike to

rotate on a pivot point. Ensure all attaching hardware is secured

and there is no lateral movement of the rear swingarm. The

stiffness of the Rear Suspension can be adjusted by turning the

adjusting plate. Clockwise will increase spring tension, while

turning counter-clockwise will decrease spring tension. There

are many different types of suspension systems-too many to

deal with individually in this manual.

There must be enough tension on the spring

to hold the spring plate in place. Failure to do

this may cause the mechanism to fail. Failure

to maintain, check and properly adjust the sus-

pension system may result in suspension mal-

function, which can cause you to lose control

and fall. Changing suspension adjustment can

change the handling and braking characteris-

tics of you bicycle. Never change suspension

adjustment unless you are thoroughly familiar

with the suspension system, manufacturer’s

instructions and recommendations, and always

check for changes in the performance of your

bicycle by taking a careful test ride in a hazard

free area. If your bike has suspension equip-

ment, the increased speed you may develop also

increases your risk. When braking, the front of a

suspended bike dips. You could lose control and

fall if your skill is not up to handling this system.

Get to know how to handle your suspension sys-

tem safely before trying any downhill or very fast

biking.
