> THIS IS CRITICAL! After installing the Transducer Wave-Guide Tubes, perform the following adjustments to avoid damage from either bottoming or full extension. Place the motorcycle on a stand so the suspension is fully extended. > Set the Maximum Extension Point It is necessary to adjust the tubes to have about 1" (25 mm) overlap when the suspension is fully extended. Without this overlap, the tubes could bind and break as the rider lands from a jump. The overlap is also necessary to ensure that the tubes do not pull apart during full extension (this is from top-out springs and flex).
With the fork or swingarm at full extension loosen the pinch bolt on the outer Wave-Guide clamp. Extend the outer Wave-Guide until it tops out and place your thumb about 1" (25 mm) above the top of the clamp. Collapse the tube 1" (25 mm). Tighten the pinch bolt on the clamp. > Check the Transducer Travel Make sure your setup has more travel in the Transducer than it can experience in operation.
Determine how much travel your fork or swingarm has and add a safety margin of at least 1/2 inch (12 mm) for the forks and 1 inch (25 mm) at the rear axle. Adjust the Wave-Guide tubes within the outer clamp as needed to meet the travel requirements. Tighten all mounting brackets securely.
> Measure the travel of the transducer as it is mounted. Make sure the exposed transducer travel is greater than the wheel travel.
If you don't already know the maximum wheel travel, measure the tire to fender clearance. Since the rear wheel usually doesn't travel more than the distance between the top of the tire and the fender this should be more than you need. On a dirt bike check for tire marks on the rear fender and give it a little room for error. |
