D
Using a plastic mallet, tap the shaft bolt and Dual Air shaft nut until you feel the shafts break free from the inside of the lower
leg shaft bores. Remove both the shaft bolt and nut.
E
Firmly pull the lower leg assembly down, by holding each leg or the brake arch. Allow oil to drain from the lower legs and
remove lower legs completely.
F
Remove the rebound damper shaft bottom-out bumper (right side on 2001-2003 models)
G
Using a 24mm socket wrench press down firmly and unthread compression damper top cap (counterclockwise). Pull damper
assembly out of upper tube.
H
Holding the damper assembly over an oil pan, pull rebound damper seal head and rebound damper from damper tube. Pour
oil into oil pan.
I
Using the external rebound adjuster knob, insert the hex into the bottom
of the rebound damper and turn counterclockwise to open the rebound
damper to the full open position. Place rebound damper (piston end)

INSTALLATION - MOTION CONTROL COMPRESSION DAMPER
A
Turn the hex adjuster rod counterclockwise to the full open position.
B
Place the gold floodgate adjuster knob back onto the compression damper and tighten with a 2mm hex wrench. Turn the
floodgate adjuster knob counterclockwise until it stops. This is the full open position.
C
Coat the compression damper o-ring seals with grease. Insert the Motion Control compression damper assembly into either
end of the damper tube and press in tightly.
D
Holding the damper tube with the open end of the tube facing up, pour 5wt suspension oil into the damper tube until the tube
is approximately half-full. Tap the compression damper/damper tube assembly on a flat surface lightly to release any air
bubbles that may be trapped inside the damper.
E
Pour additional 5wt suspension oil into damper tube until completely full.
F
Remove the rebound damper/seal head assembly from the oil container (remember, the rebound damper/seal head assembly
should be submerged in oil). Wrap a rag around the damper tube to catch displaced oil. Insert the rebound piston into the
damper tube slowly.
G
Slide the piston onto the damper tube. Insert the rebound damper seal head into the end of the damper tube and press firmly
into place.
IMPORTANT!
Do NOT cycle the rebound damper into the damper tube. The compression damper is not secure in the
damper tube until threaded into the upper and tightened with a socket wrench.
H
Apply grease to the bottom of the rebound damper seal head. Place seal head o-ring on bottom of seal head. This o-ring
protects the seal head inside the upper tube.
I
Insert Motion Control damper assembly back into the upper tube, rebound shaft first. Guide the end of the rebound damper
through the center of the threaded base retainer. Ensure the rebound damper shaft does not scrape the retainer. Slide the
damper completely into the upper tube.
J
By hand, thread the compression damper top cap into the upper tube. Using a 24mm socket wrench, tighten to 60 in-lb.
