CAUTION:

Changing suspension adjustment can change the handling

and braking characteristics of your E-Bike™. Never change

suspension adjustment unless you are thoroughly familiar

with the suspension system manufacturer's instructions and

recommendations, and always check for changes in the

handling and braking characteristics of the E-Bike™ after a

suspension adjustment by taking a careful test ride in a

hazard-free area.

CAUTION:

Not all models can be safely retrofitted with some types of

suspension systems. Before retrofitting an E-Bike™ with any

suspension, check with the E-Bike™ manufacturer to make

sure that what you want to do is compatible with the E-Bike™

design.

WARNING:

If your E-Bike™ has suspension, the increased speed you

may develop also increases your risk. When braking, the

front of a suspended E-Bike™ dips. You could lose control

and fall if your skill is not up to handling this system. Get to

know how to handle your suspension system safely.

Suspension can increase the handling capabilities and

comfort of your E-Bike™. This enhanced capability may allow

you to ride faster; but you must not confuse the enhanced

capabilities of the E-Bike™ with your own capabilities as a

rider. Increasing your skill will take time and practice. Proceed

carefully until you are sure you are competent to handle the

full capabilities of your E-Bike™.

Suspension Adjustment

Two types of forks are used on the E-Bike™: the Zokes 65

mm forks and the Nitro DH forks. The preload can be

adjusted on both types of forks. The adjustment procedure is

described below. You will need a 4 mm Allen wrench to turn

the adjusters on the Zokes 65 mm forks. The Nitro DH forks

are equipped with hand adjusters.

Turning an adjuster clockwise stiffens the suspension.

Turning it counterclockwise softens the suspension.

1. Remove the cap from the top of each fork leg.

2. Set the preload in each fork tube to the minimum setting

by turning each adjuster counterclockwise until it stops.

3. If you need to, use a marker to place indexing marks on

the adjuster and on the fork tube on each fork leg. Be sure

the mark on the fork tube aligns with the mark on the

adjuster.

4. Turn the adjuster in each leg 1/4-turn clockwise. Check the

setting by pressing down on the handlebars. Note how the

suspension feels.

5. Repeat this procedure – turning each adjuster in 1/4-turn

increments and checking the suspension – until the desired

preload is obtained.
