BEFOrE EVErY rIDE
Do not ride the bicycle if one of the following criteria is not met! If the bicycle
is damaged or if the necessary adjustments were not made but the bicycle is
used regardless, then this can result in accidents, serious injuries or even death.
!
Please also note that your fork is not intended for jumps, aggressive down-
hill rides, freeride or dirtjump if the warning sticker on your suspension fork
prohibits these. Disregarding these instructions may cause your product to fail
or may even cause accidents or death. Not heeding these instructions will void
the warranty!
Ì
Please note that SR SUNTOUR suspension forks are not equipped with front reflectors for use in
road traffic. If you intend to use your bicycle on public roads or bicycle paths, you must install the
required front reflectors on the fork. Please contact your specialised dealer.
Ì
Carefully read the operating instructions included with your bicycle and familiarise yourself with
the individual components of your bicycle.
Ì
Are there any cracks, dents or deformations on the fork or on another part of your bicycle? If this
is the case, contact a trained and qualified bicycle mechanic to inspect your fork and the bicycle.
Ì
Is oil leaking from the fork? Also check hidden areas such as the underside of the fork crown.
If this is the case, contact a trained and qualified bicycle mechanic to inspect your fork and the
bicycle.
Ì
Put your full body weight onto the fork. If it seems too soft (i.e. if the pressure for an exact
negative spring stroke is incorrect), pump up the fork until the desired value is reached. Further
information can also be found under „AIR PRESSURE AND “SAG”“.
Ì
Make sure that the brakes are properly installed, adjusted and functioning. This also applies to all
other bicycle parts such as the handlebar, pedals, crankset, saddle, seat-post etc. Further informa-
tion can also be found in the operating instructions of the other parts‘ manufacturers. Make sure
the wheels are perfectly centred so that the suspension fork and the brake system do not touch.
Ì
If you are using a quick release system to attach your wheelset, make sure the quick release has
the required clamping force. If you are using a thru-axle system, make sure all screws are tighte-
ned to the proper torque.
Ì
Check the cable length and the cable routing of the components. The cables must not interfere
with the steering movements.
Ì
If you are using front reflectors for use on public roads, make sure they are clean and properly
installed.
Ì
Gently bounce your front wheel off the ground and check/listen whether there are any loose parts.
