WARNING! Please read thru the following thoroughly before using your
suspension system. These instructions contain important information about the
correct installation, service, and maintenance of your suspension fork. Common
mechanical knowledge may not be sufficient. Your suspension fork should only be
installed, serviced and/or maintained by a trained and qualified bicycle mechanic
with specialized tools.
Our suspension systems contain fluids and gases under extreme pressure. Never
try to open any SR SUNTOUR suspension system! Pieces can be
violently ejected. SR SUNTOUR suspension forks are designed as a single
integrated system. To avoid product malfunction and an accident, use
only genuine SR SUNTOUR spare parts. The use of third-party supplier spare
parts also voids the warranty of your suspension system.
The suspension fork is not intended for jumps, aggressive downhill rides, freeride
or dirt jumping if the warning sticker on your suspension system
prohibits these activities. Additionally, the suspension fork is designed for use by a
single rider only. Disregarding these instructions may cause your suspension fork
to fail, resulting in an accident, personal injury or death, and will void the warranty.
FORK ASSEMBLY
Avoid product malfunction, an accident, personal injury or death. Your new SR
SUNTOUR suspension fork should be installed, maintained and serviced by a
qualified and trained bicycle mechanic. Avoid product failure and an accident,
personal injury or death. All mounting screws must be tightened with the
respective torques specified by the manufacturer of each individual component
(i.e., brake, headset, etc.).
WA R N I N G :
ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET!
It could save your life.
DO NOT RIDE AT NIGHT!
• 6" adjustable wrench
• Phillips and standard screwdrivers
• A pair of pliers with
cable cutting ability

INSTALL THE FRONT WHEEL
Make sure that all clamping levers and
nuts are set and tightened properly (at
least four threads must engage in the
adjusting nut when the quick release is
locked). If the fork is equipped with a
thru-axle system, then all screws must
be checked for proper torque. Follow
the instructions of the Quick Release or
Turn-Axle manufacturer.
1. Check the segmented flange to be
expanded before installation and open
the lever completely.
2. Slide in the axle until it "clicks".
Make sure the segmented flange
is expanded.
3. Set the tension of the nut until the
flange is flush with the dropout.
4. Close the lever completely. Check if it
is firmly seated. Retighten the nut
if necessary.
QUICK RELEASE ASSEMBLY
1. Guide your wheel into the fork. Guide the
rotor in between the brake pads.
2. Tighten the axle. Settle the wheel
completely into the dropouts. Make sure
the quick release axle is on the
non-drive side of the bike, matching the
wheel. Holding the lever in place,
tighten the nut on the opposite side and
push the lever into the closed position. It
should feel tight, but it should not be too
difficult to close the lever. Once tight,
push the lever into the closed position.
3. Spin the wheel to make sure your brake pads are not rubbing the rotor. If your
wheel does not spin, it could be crooked in the fork's dropouts. Flip your bike
back over, loosen your axle, push down on the wheel and tighten the axle again.
Kickstand

If your bike is equipped with a
kickstand, please follow the
instructions below.
1. Place the bicycle in an upright
position.
2. Align the mounting tab located on the
chain stay with a spacer and the
kickstand, with the kickstand
positioned opposite of the chain.
3. Insert a mounting screw through the
chain side of the mounting tab, the
spacer, and the kickstand.
4. Attach to the mounting tab by
tightening the mounting screw to the
threaded receiving hole on the
kickstand.
5. Adjust height of kickstand by
pressing the height adjustment button
and moving the kickstand up or
down. Release the adjustment button
when desired height is achieved.
WARNING! THE KICKSTAND IS
DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE
BICYCLE ONLY, NOT THE BICYCLE
AND RIDER.
WARNING! Use your kickstand to
support the bike when not riding.
Allowing your bike to lay on it's side
can damage the brake levers and cause an unsafe riding condition and could
result in injury to the rider.
Pedals

1. Apply a small amount of grease to
the threads of each pedal (optional).
Look for the letter "L" or "R" on the
side or end of each pedal spindle
(picture). Turning the spindle
clockwise by hand (Picture), thread
the pedal marked "R" into the crank
arm on the right (drive) side of the
bicycle. Make sure that youare not
"cross-threading", which can strip the
threads in the crank arm. If the
threads do not turn easily,
don't force them. Back the spindle
out and start over. Once the pedal is
