1. Place the bike on a stand with both wheels off the ground. Remove and disassemble the shock. Record the Spring Set Length and the Free Travel (i.e. the shock travel to the Bottom-Out Bumper) during disassembly. Reassemble the shock but leave the Spring and the Bottom-Out Bumper off.
2. Remove the Rear Wheel. Reinstall the axle and snug down the nut so it stays in place. Put the axle in the center of the Adjustment Slot (to provide a consistent measurement point).
3. Convert one of the Transducers into a Shock Mountable LR Transducer by removing the Transducer Head and attaching it to the LR Tube. Line up the slots in the Adapter and the Transducer Head.
4. Install the Shock and attach the LR Transducer to the lower shock mount with the Strap. The Transducer Head will be at the bottom.
> There are two types of Lower Shock Mounts, Clevis and Eyelet: - Clevis Lower Shock Mount – This one is easier because you can tighten the lower shock mounting bolt.
- Eyelet Lower Shock Mount – This one is a little trickier because the linkage rotates with respect to the shock axis. This means the lower shock mounting bolt should only be finger tight, allowing it to rotate with respect to the linkage. This will allow the Transducer to remain aligned with the shock.
5. Attach the Control Rod to the Shock Body. Align the LR Transducer with the shock. Extend the small Control Rod and hose clamp it to the Shock Body. Align the LR Transducer Tube, the Control Rod, and the shock shaft.
You may have to bend or twist the aluminum mounting strap or flip the clamp to get a good angle. If it is slightly misaligned it may be OK. Make sure there is always clearance and there is no contact with the linkage as you move the swingarm through its entire travel. Adjust as necessary.
Sometimes the best mounting is with the LR Transducer in front of the shock, sometimes in the back, and sometimes on the side.
6. Mount the standard Transducer vertically on the rear.
7. Connect the ShockClocks to the Transducers and connect the Remote Record Switch. |
