Ryde Fx Remote Reservoir Shock Disassembly - Polaris IQ 2007 Service Manual

13. With the cylinder head assembly pushed down against the
valve piston, dip the piston assembly in shock oil.
14. Fill the shock body with oil to the bottom of the threads.
Carefully insert the piston rod and valve assembly into the
cylinder.
• Slightly oscillate the piston rod to allow the piston to
enter the shock body bore as it purges the air out
• Slight up and down movement may be required to allow
all the air to pass through the piston assembly.
15. Slowly push the piston rod and assembly into the shock
body until the threads can be engaged.
NOTE: During installation, some shock oil will over
flow. Wrap a shop cloths around the shock body to
catch any oil overflow.
IMPORTANT: Fast installation of the piston rod and
assembly may displace the internal floating piston
(IFP) from its original position. Performance issues
will be a result if the IFP is not in its specified position.
16. Tighten the cylinder head onto the shock body.
17. Verify the IFP is set at the specified depth. If not, verify
there is oil on top of the IFP, then open the bleed screw.
18. Set the IFP to specification, then close the bleed screw.
19. Pour out any remaining shock oil from the reservoir.
20. Install the cap making sure the o-ring does not flip-over.
Install the snap ring.
21. Charge the shock to the specified pressure.
22. Clean the shock of all oil reside and check for any leaks.
23. Install button screw onto the reservoir cap.
