Brake Reach - SR Suntour RAIDON Owner's Manual

WARNING: When making saddle angle adjustments with a
single bolt saddle clamp, always check to make sure that the
serrations on the mating surfaces of the clamp are not worn.
Worn serrations on the clamp can allow the saddle to move,
causing you to lose control and fall.
Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque. Bolts that are
too tight can stretch and deform. Bolts that are too loose can
move and fatigue. Either mistake can lead to a sudden failure of
the bolt, causing you to lose control and fall.
Note:
your dealer for recommended service intervals for your suspension seat
post.
Small changes in saddle position can have a substantial effect on
adjustment at a time.
WARNING: After any saddle adjustment, be sure that the saddle
adjusting mechanism is properly seated and tightened before
riding. A loose saddle clamp or seat post clamp can cause
damage to the seat post, or can cause you to lose control and
fall. A correctly tightened saddle adjusting mechanism will
allow no saddle movement in any direction. Periodically check
to make sure that the saddle adjusting mechanism is properly
tightened.

stem or stem height is changed, the brakes must be correctly
adjusted before you ride the bicycle.
