Step 12. Match the short, front shock bodies (119) to the
short, front shafts (113), and the long, rear shock bodies (120)
to the long, rear shafts (114).
Step 13. Fill the shock body (119), (120) with shock fluid
(112) up to the bottom of the threads.
Step 14. Insert the shaft assembly into the shock body
(119), (120) with the cartridge against the shock piston (118).
Slowly tighten the cartridge approximately two full turns. With
the cartridge still slightly loose, slowly push the shock shaft
(113), (114) into the shock body (119), (120). This will bleed
the excess fluid out of the shock. Once the shaft (113), (114)
is all the way in, hand tighten the shock cartridge the rest of
the way.
*
Note: Be sure to match the front shock shafts with the
front shock bodies.
Step 15. Now, with the shaft (113), (114) still all the way
in, secure the cartridge by tightening it with pliers approximately
an additional1 /8 turn. There should be no air in the shock as
you push the shaft (113), (114) in and out. If there is, the
shock needs more oil. If the shock does not compress all the
way, the shock has too much oil.
*Note: If leaking persists around the outside, tighten the
cartridge more.
Step 16. Repeat steps 13 - 15 for all four shocks.

Step 17. Snap a shock spring cup (121) onto each of
the four shafts (113), (114) and around the shock end (115).
Step 18. Slide a shock spring (122) over each of the four
shocks so that it rests on the spring cup (121 ).
*
Note: All four springs are the same.
Step 19. Insert a 4-40 x 3/8" cap head screw (14) into the
larger hole of each of the four shock collars (123) and thread it
into the smaller hole.
Step 20. With the collar (123) loose, slide it over the top
of each shock body (119), (120) and against the spring (122).
Tighten the collar (123) to hold it in place. Do not over tighten!
*
Note: Final adjustment will be made later in the ride
height section in the tips portion of the manual.
