Page 28: Optional Rebound Re-Tune
O p t i o n a l R e b o u n d R e - t u n e The Charger Damper™ in Pike® comes with additional shims installed on the piston to allow the rider to modify the rebound tune. If your rebound setting is one or two clicks from open, we recommend changing to a soft tune on the rebound. - Page 29 Use the chart below to layout the shim stack for your desired tune on your Shim thickness rebound damper piston. Use a metric caliper to verify the shim outer diameter and shim thickness or print the page at 100% scale to arrange the shim stack using the outlines on the page.
- Page 30 Install the shims on a small wrench or pick in the order of your desired tune. Off center hoop shim Slide the shim stack onto the piston face. Use your fingers to squeeze the stack and center the shims. NOTI C E Ensure the hoop shim is centered on the shim stack.

- Page 36 Create a vacuum in the damper assembly by pulling up on the syringe handle and simultaneously pushing up on the rebound damper shaft. This will force bubbles out of the damper assembly. Pressurize the damper assembly by pushing down on the syringe handle and simultaneously pulling down on the rebound damper shaft.
- Page 37 RCT3: Insert the low speed compression adjuster into the compression cam assembly. Push down and turn the low speed compression adjuster clockwise until it clicks into place. RCT3 RC: Use needle-nose pliers to insert the bleed plug into the compression adjuster until it clicks into place.
- Page 38 Push the rebound damper shaft into the cartridge tube. The shaft should not move more than 2 mm if the bleed was successful. If the shaft moves while in the locked position, repeat the bleed procedure. ≤ 2 mm RCT3: Rotate the compression mode adjuster cam counter-clockwise until it stops.
