Maintenance? Not sure how to work on your own bike? Contact your authorized Yeti dealer or visit www.parktool.com and check out the repair help section. This section contains detailed instruction on many of the service items listed in the maintenance schedule.
Bike Setup Tools needed Shock pump Tape measure 4mm allen key Time 15-20 minutes Yeti Tips Inspect your shock for any visible damage. If oil is leaking or you notice any damage to the surfaces or seals, please contact the Fox Racing Shox service center for repair at 800.FOX.SHOX. Removing the shock from the linkage will require the Yeti linkage tool for proper assembly and disassembly. The tool can be purchased online at www.yeticycles.com or through an authorized Yeti dealer.
Quick Start Guide Setup-Fox RP23 Air pressure The main air spring controls the sag of the shock. For the 4X to ride properly it is important to setup the shock with the correct amount of sag. For proper setup use 10-15% of the shock stroke. To increase sag, reduce the main spring air pressure. To reduce sag increase the main spring air pressure. 1 Setup Overview The 4x is designed to be used as a race/jump specific ride.
Housing End Caps Yeti recommends using metal end caps to maintain the integrity of the housing. The metal caps do not allow the cable to pull through as do the plastic versions. Do not mix up the shift and brake housing because it will result in a loss in performance. Cable Setup The 4X has full cable housing. By using full cable housing, we have eliminated break points in the line of your shifter housing.
Assembly Tools needed Dead blow hammer Adjustable pliers Two - 5mm allen keys 6mm allen key 4mm allen key 4mm t-handle allen key 8mm allen key or 5/16 guide Linkage tool Time 30-45 minutes depending on condition of the bike Yeti Tips Make sure your tools are in good condition. A worn allen key can round the hex on a bolt preventing proper torque. Be careful when using ballpoint allen wrenches for the same reason. The linkage tool is necessary to properly disassemble and reassemble the linkage.
Thread Prep Yeti recommends prepping all bolt threads at once on your work bench with Loctite or grease. This will ensure that all bolts are used in assembly. The medium strength (blue) Loctite formula along with proper torque is ideal to keep the bolts snug. Assembly Dogbone & Shock setup Insert two double-row bearings with shoulders facing out into top of dogbone. Make sure bearings are flush on both sides of dogbone. 1 Rear Triangle Assembly Slide a 8.5mm ID washer onto the 31.0mm Ti female.
