- Air pressure: Air pressure acts as a progressive spring and affects the entire range of fork travel. The air pressure in the fork increases as the fork heats up, so the fork action on your GAS GAS will get stiffer as the race progresses. Because of this, we don´t recommend using air pressure for additional springing.

LUBRICATION Lubricate the points shown here, with either motor oil or regular grease, in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart or whenever the vehicle has been operated under wet or rainy conditions, and especially after using a high pressure spray washer. Before lubricating each part, clean off any rusty spots with rust remover and wipe off any grease, oil, dirt, or grime.
Chain lubrication NOTE The main jet should be increased or decreased one to five sizes Lubricate the chain after drive over wet places or when the chain and tested until the engine gives maximum power. looks dry. It's better a high viscosity oil than a small viscosity oil because it will stay a long time in chain.
