RE-PRELOAD INSTRUCTIONS

suspension_lock_block_installed_dbl_shock_susp

 
Only 20 psi on Voyager tires.  (Make sure that motorcycle rear air shocks are at 80% capacity. Normal tire pressure on both motorcycle tires.)

1.  Tools needed:  3/4”, 7/16”, sockets or wrenches and a torque wrench.

2.  Loosen the (8) 1/2” U-bolt nuts. (If you have the suspension_lock_bar_installed_lgr_font

old style suspension lock bar you will, also, need to
loosen the (2) 3/8” lock nuts on the suspension lock bar using a 9/16” socket or wrench.)

 3.  Remove the 1/2” Short Shock Tower Bolts, nuts, washers, spacers completely from top of shock and shock tower.

4.  Roll motorcycle rear tire onto 1/4”, 1/2”, or 3/4” preload plate.  (See pg. 15 of manual or What preload should I use? click here ) (Preload plate can be wood, metal, or plastic.)

(Make sure motorcycle is in first gear when tire is on top of preload plate.)

The more preload the less lean you will have with the motorcycle inside the Voyager Kit.

 5.  Now tighten the (8) U-bolts to 35 ft. lbs. (torque wrench is needed)  (If you have the   

old style suspension lock bar you will, also, need to tighten the (2) 3/8” lock nuts.)

Reinstall short shock tower bolts, washers, nuts, & spacers (as shown in picture) and 

tighten completely.

6.  Now you are ready to ride again
