Prepare the second, empty, RockShox Reverb bleed syringe by pushing the syringe plunger all the way in, then thread the empty syringe into the seatpost bleed port.
6.
Purge the system of air and fill it with oil.
While holding both syringes upright, gently push on the remote assembly syringe plunger and gently pull up on the seatpost syringe plunger at the same time. This will force oil
and any air bubbles through the remote assembly, remote hose, seatpost, and into the seatpost syringe.
Continue to push on the remote assembly syringe plunger until it is nearly empty.
Important: at this point, an excessive amount of air may accumulate in the seatpost syringe which can make the bleed process di
syringe from the bleed port, hold the syringe with the tip pointed up, place a rag around the tip and slowly push any air out of the syringe. Thread the syringe back into the

see air bubbles and oil moving into the remote syringe.
Then, gently push on the remote assembly syringe plunger until the syringe is nearly empty and pull up on the seatpost syringe at the same time. You may see air bubbles in the
oil as oil fills the seatpost syringe.
Cycle the oil between the seatpost and remote assembly syringes, by pushing and pulling, until no more air bubbles transfer into either syringe.
Finish the process of cycling the oil between the seatpost and remote assembly with a firm push on the seatpost syringe plunger until the syringe is nearly empty and pulling up
on the remote syringe at the same time.
8.
Unthread the syringe from the seatpost bleed port.
Use a T

9.
Dislodge any remaining bubbles from inside the remote assembly.
While pushing on the remote assembly syringe plunger, press the remote actuator 8 times then turn the speed adjuster back and forth 4 times.
Pull up on the syringe plunger to remove any air bubbles that may have been dislodged from the remote assembly. Repeat until no more air bubbles come out of the remote
assembly.

Complete the bleed process by pushing the remote assembly syringe plunger one final time to force the remote actuator to return to the fully extended position.
Continue to push on the syringe plunger and turn the speed adjuster on the remote counter-clockwise to the Full Slow position (this is opposite the direction of the arrow printed
on the speed adjuster).
Unthread the syringe from the remote assembly.
