MAINTENANCE
3.1 Service
It is essential to clean your shock after each ride using without waiting long time! There is nothing more
dangerous for damper seal than dry mud. Operation is very easy, you just have to clean the shaft and protect
it with silicon spray or protective grease.
Be carefully to not use aggressive or alkaline cleaning product. If you use high pressure cleaning
machine, do not guide water jet directly on the seals.
It is also efficient to rise the Rubber bump stop from his seat to clean properly the damper foot.

approved centers are the only able to identify and appraise a damaged or worn part
especially in case of shock or wear on structural elements such as the shafts, rods and
piston.
