Owners ManualSuspension front fork with / or < coil spring/hydraulic> systemRead this instruction sheet thoroughly before using the suspension fork. Using the suspension fork inappropiately may cause serious injuries. Be sure to follow all warnings and caution indications. The instruction sheet contains important information on the correct installation and usage of the fork. After reading this instruction sheet, please be sure to keep it in a safe place for future reference. When transferring ownership of the suspension fork, give this instruction sheet to the new owner. As with any new suspension fork, there is a short period within moving parts will break in. During the first 300-500 km, the ride dynamics of the fork may change slightly. One of the things you may notice, is a small amount of play in the lower tubes. This movement is normal. Suspension forks can dramatically improve the comfort and control of your bicycle, but they can also change the way it handles, so always exercise caution and good judgement when getting used to your new setup.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION1.) Before riding the bicycle, be sure the brakes are properly installed and adjusted. If the brakes do not work properly, the rider could suffer serious injuries. 2.) Do not ride the bicycle if you notice bent or broken parts at the fork, especially after a collusion, sounds of excessive topping out, or other indications of a possible fork failure. In these cases, take your bike to a qualified bicycle mechanic for inspection and repair. 3.) Always use genuine SR Suntour parts. The use of other replacement parts voids the warranty and could cause structural failure to the suspension fork.

INSTALLATIONSR SUNTOUR recommends that your suspension fork be installed by a qualified bicycle mechanic, because it must be properly installed, adjusted and checked for safety. The steerer tube must be cut to proper length correctly Special tools and skills are required If you install the fork by yourself, the completed installation must be inspected by a qualified bicycle mechanic and signed off to validate your warranty.

Installation instructions:

The SR Suntour suspension forks with hydraulic system are available only with threadless steerer: choose the right headset for this Ahead type of steerer. See manufacturers installation guide for the headset and handlebar stem you are using! The SR SUNTOUR steerer tube may need cutting to the proper length. To cut the steerer tube is not a job for untrained people, so let a professional mechanic install the fork. If you are going to tackle this job by yourself, get a good book on repairing bicycles and read it carefully. But in this case our warranty is void and SR SUNTOUR is not liable for incidental or consequential damages. 1. Remove the existing fork and lower headset race from the bicycle. - Measure the length of the fork steerer tube against the length of the SR SUNTOUR steerer tube to determine whether it may need cutting to the proper length 2. In order to find out the proper length of the steering tube, you have to add up the following dimensions: - Head tube of the frame + stack height of the headset + stack height of the Clip on handlebar stem 3. Install the headset race firmly against the top of the fork crown. Install the fork assembly back on the bike. 4. Assemble the headset and handlebar stem on the bicycle. Adjust the headset so you feel no play or drag. - Complete the installation of the headset and stem according to the manufacturers instructions. 5. Reinstall the handlebar. 6. Install the brakes as per the manufactures instruction, making sure to adjust the brake properly. - Use the fork only with V-type brakes mounted to the existing cantilever bosses. Mount the disc brake only to the tabs provided at the left lower of the forks 7. Run the brake cable from the brake lever to the brake (V-type brake or Disc brake) making sure to leave enough cable housing to allow full travel of the fork.

Handlebar Stems: Headsets:

- Please use only Ahead-type handlebar stems for 1 1/8 (28.6mm) steerer diameter. - Follow the handlebar stem manufacturers installation manual and please mind to use the proper torque for this safety item. Make sure that the headset you use matches the dimensions of your fork and frame. Refer to the instruction sheet or installation manual that comes with your headset and carefully follow its instructions.

Tire clearance:

Maximum tire size for the SR Suntour suspension forks is to be checked depending on the outer diameter for 28or 26 wheel size. Also, you have to check the tire width and you have to allow a minimum of 5mm between tire and the forks lowers. Please keep in mind that the narrowest point at the lowers is usually at the height of the brake bosses - so you may have to deflate the tire in case you have to remove the wheel, depending on the tire width. Be sure to check the tire diameter and width whenever you change tires. To check the tire diameter, remove the top caps/or adjuster knobs and spring stack assemblies and compress the fork completely to make sure at least 10 mm of clearance exists between the top of the tire and the bottom of the crown. Exceeding maximum tire size will cause the tire to jam against the crown when the fork is fully compressed. If you want to retrofit the bike with mudguards, you have to take into account that the clearance between tire and mudguard is now changed. Please check the clearance again as described above.

Brakes:

The SR Suntour suspension forks are designed to be used with V-brake and Discbrake. The use of discbrake can be seen on the left side lower, where the Discbrake mounting tabs are present. Please use only the maximum disc brake rotor diameter mentioned in this instruction sheet - see page 5. Please check the instruction manual of the brake manufacturer for technical details and dimensions. You need to make sure that the cable housing of your brakes can move freely and does not come in contact with any part of the fork.

OPERATING THE MANUAL LOCK-OUT SYSTEM Use and function of the lock-out systemThe lock-out function of the SR Suntour forks is intended to reduce bobbing during your sprinting action or uphill ride. The fork will not be as hard as a rigid fork, if you press with your full weight on the handlebar, but you will feel a big difference between locked and un-locked mode. In order to activate this function, you have either to push the wishbone shaped lever to the right - in case of a remote lock-out fork or to turn the lock-out knob located on the right side of the fork crown clockwise up to stop. In order to open the system for normal damping, you have to push the wishbone lever to the left in the case of a remote lock-out fork or turn the lock-out knob counter-clockwise. To perform both functions - lock or un-lock -> you need only one flip of your thumb in the case of the remote lock-out fork or a full turn of the lock-out knob for a standard lock-out fork. Note: The Lock-out cartridge is located on the right side of the fork. Warning: Please dont use the fork in lock-out mode when riding on rough terrain or jumping. High load under lock-out condition might lead to a certain damage which may result into breakage of the RL/LO cartridge

OPERATING THE REMOTE TRAVEL ADJUSTMENT

Use and function of the remote travel adjustmentThis feature allows you to adjust the travel of your fork depending on your preferences and the terrain youre riding. The travel adjustment allows you to change the way the bike handles, when you ride uphill or downhill. When you ride uphill, you push the lever (which is mounted on the handlebar) and push down the handlebar. You release the lever at the desired travel level of the fork. Now you can ride uphill in a more comfortable body position. When you ride downhill, you push the lever and pull the handlebar and the fork extends its travel to the maximum travel level. Now you can ride downhill in a more comfortable and safer body position. The infinitely variable travel can be adjusted from 60-120mm (130mm - depending on the fork model) steplessly. Remark: The changement of the travel of the fork doesnt change the air spring rate. You have the same comfort at all travel levels.

FORK PERFORMANCE TUNING Fork performance tuningThe SR Suntour suspension forks can be tuned for your particular weight, in accordance with the terrain and your personal riding style.

Setting Sag

Suspension forks will sag(dive in) more or less, depending on your weight and fork setting, when you mount the saddle and sit on your bike. The proper adjustment of sag allows the front wheel to keep contact with the ground during the ride. Sag is adjusted byincreasing or decreasing (depending of the fork model) the: a.) the positive air pressure / b.) the preload on the spring stacks. To measure the amount of sag your fork is diving in, install a zip tie on the stanchion tube, at the level of the lower tube seal. Travel Intended use Sag Now, mount the saddle and sit on the bike in normal riding position, ride a short distance on flat ground and step off the bike. 80 mm Racing 8-12 mm Measure the distance between the lower seal and the zip tie and you will find out the 80 mm XC 12-16 mm 100 mm Racing 10-14 mm sag. In case of travel adjustment forks, 100 mm XC 14-18mm set the fork to maximum travel (120mm) and check in accordance with the chart 130 mm Freeride 20-25mm shown above.

a.) Setting SAG by air pressureIn order to adjust the air pressure, please be sure to use the following steps

(Right and left side are to be considered from the riders perspective):

1.) unscrew by hand the cover cap on the left or right side of the fork crown. In case of a travel adjustment fork, please find the air valve at the left lower dropout. 2.) attach the suspension fork air pump at the Schrader valve. 3.) pump up the fork to the desired hardness level -> see chart. 4.) remove the pump from the valve. 5.) replace the cover cap.

AIR SPRING SYSTEM

TRAVEL ADJUST SYSTEM

b.) Setting SAG by spring preloadIn order to adjust the Sag by spring preload, measure first - as described above - the initial Sag, using the zip tie method. After you found out the amount of Sag you have, reduce or increase it, by using the preload knob on the top of the fork crown. By turning the preload knob clockwise, you increase the preload and reduce the SAG. By turning the preload knob counter-clockwise, you reduce the preload and increase the SAG. Please adjust the SAG in accordance with your personal preferences and use the values indicated above as guidance. If you are not able to adjust the optimum SAG, you need to change the forks coil springs, to harder or softer ones.

MAINTENANCECheck the fork before each ride and contact your dealer if you have any questions. Check following points:a) b) c) d) e) f) Visible damage of the fork - on upper or lower tubes, fork crown, brace, dropouts - like cracks, dents, as effects of a crash during the ride or of other causes. Tightness of the headset by pressing the braking lever of the front brake and pushing and pulling the bike in order to see if there is play. Brake pad adjustment on the rim and distance to the rim ( 1-2 mm is optimal) Brake lever travel - ideally the contact of the brake pad and rim should occur after 1/3 of lever travel range Firmness of the brake assembly - apply the brakes several times and check carefully for loose nuts, bolts, etc. Front wheel must be centred within the fork tubes. Check proper torque on wheel quick release mechanism.

IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR FORK SERVICE The suspension fork requires periodic maintenance, as moisture and contamination may build up inside the fork depending on the weather conditions during your ride. In order to maintain the forks proper performance, we recommend periodical disassembly, cleaning and lubrication at the dealer - especially before you intend not to use your bike for a longer period of time. NEVER USE A HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY GUN FOR CLEANING YOUR FORK, AS WATER MAY ENTER AT THE DUSTSEAL LEVEL!. The periodic greasing of the dustseals is very important, as it is linked directly with the smooth function of the fork. As such, any time you feel that the fork isnt moving as smooth as before, even after you oiled the fork after each 25hours of use - please ask the dealer to dis-assemble the fork and clean and grease the dustseals and metal bushings. FOR THE SERVICE AT THE DEALER, PLEASE BRING THE FORK ALWAYS IN CLEANED CONDITION! Please keep in mind, that a fork which was not serviced periodically in accordance with the maintenance recommendations will loose its warranty.
