Ø Read this manual thoroughly before using your rear shock. Ø Our rear shocks contain fluids and gases under extreme pressure, so warnings in this manual must be followed in order to avoid the possibility of injuries or possible death. Never try to open any SR SUNTOUR rear shock ! Opening any SR SUNTOUR rear shock implies the risk of getting seriously injured. Ø Use only genuine SR SUNTOUR parts. The use of third-party supplier spare parts voids the warranty of your rear shock and might cause failure to it. This could result into an accident, injury or even death. Ø SR SUNTOUR rear shocks are designed for the usage by a single rider. WARNING ! These instructions contain important information about the correct installation, service and maintenance of your rear shock. Common mechanical knowledge may not be sufficient.

FAQs

Why should installation, service, or maintenance be done by a trained mechanic?

SR SUNTOUR warns that improper installation, service, or maintenance can cause shock failure and lead to accidents, severe injuries, or even death. Common mechanical knowledge may not be sufficient, and specialized tools are essential.

What should be checked before every ride?

Inspect the bicycle and suspension system for cracks, dents, bent or tarnished parts, and check for oil leaks from the shocks. Also verify brakes, wheel fastening (quick release or through axle torque), cable routing, and reflector condition if used.

How does SAG relate to air pressure setup?

The manual instructs compressing the rear shock with body weight and, if it feels too soft, inflating until the required SAG value is reached. It also directs readers to the “SETTING SAG” chapter for the proper procedure.
