RL R:

Use a 7 mm wrench to hold the cam closed, full clockwise until it

stops, while compressing the damper.

The cable tie must remain at 55 mm (100 mm travel forks) or 34 mm

(120 mm travel forks), from the end of the shaft. Do not compress the

rebound damper further than this point.

Cover the purge holes with a shop towel.

Oil may exit the cartridge tube purge holes. Wear saftey glasses

and keep your eyes and face away from the purge holes when

compressing the rebound damper.

Push down on the damper assembly slowly to test the firmest

compression setting. Firm and consistent resistance should be felt with

no gaps in movement.

Rotate the compression damper to open setting and repeat the

compression test. Light consistent resistance should be felt with no

gaps in movement.

If gaps are felt during compression, repeat the oil fill and purge

process. If the assembly process was successful, set the compression

damper to the open setting and remove the cable tie.
