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.
Setup-Fox DHX Air Setup-Fox RP23 Air pressure The main air spring controls the sag of the shock. For the 575 to ride properly it is important to setup the shock with the correct amount of sag. For general riding use 20-30% of the shock stroke (5mm to 10mm). To increase sag reduce the main spring air pressure. To reduce sag increase the main spring air pressure. Refer to the quick start guide to get your starting air pressure. 1 Setup Overview The DHX 5.
Setup-Fox DHX Air sag Once you have set your baseline air pressure you need to measure the sag. To measure the sag slide the travel indicator (O-Ring) up against the shock body. With a friend supporting the bike, sit on the saddle (do not bounce) and allow your body weight to compress the shock. Once you have compressed the shock, get off the bike and measure the distance between the shock body and the new position of the travel indicator (O-Ring). This is your sag.
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 575 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 1 linkage assembly Slide a washer, press-cup and press-cup insert onto the threaded bolt of you linkage tool.
Assembly Cont. Frame Assembly Place the shock assembly onto the bike in the configuration shown to the right. Slide your first 33mm female bolt and washer through mounting position one to hold the shock assembly in place. Now swing the dogbone into mounting position two. Slide the other 22mm female Yeti bolt and washer through the mounting hole of the bike. Tap the 22mm female Yeti bolt into position with the dead blow hammer.
Disassembly Tips frame disassembly To remove the main pivot pin, place a 5mm allen key on the button head bolt and a 6mm allen key on the main pivot pin. Turn counter-clockwise until the button head is removed. Then take 8mm allen key or a punch and tap out the main pivot pin with a dead blow hamemr. 1 Note: Disassemble this first so that the seatstays don’t hit the frame when hammernig out the main pivot pin.
