INSTALLATION STEPS

  • Compress shock shaft half way. Let shock fluid bleed from cap, then tighten cap.
  • For less rebound, compress shock shaft farther before tightening the shock cap.
  • For more rebound, do not compress shock shaft as far before tightening the shock cap.
  • Some residual shock fluid may appear from your first few runs around the shock cap as a result of bleeding.

Set The Gear Mesh:

To set the gear mesh, push the teeth of the motor mount cam #21531 into the corresponding tooth pattern of the motor mount insert. Once the teeth are seated, you should be able to rock the spur gear back and forth without making the pinion gear move. Excessive amounts of spur gear movement (loose gear mesh) will cause premature gear failure. If the spur gear mesh is tight, there will be no movement between the spur and pinion gears. A gear mesh that is too tight or too loose will reduce power and damage the gear teeth.
