Suspension Maintenance

You bet'cha!

Be careful on reassy of the unitrack. It's easy after filling the seals up with grease to NOT quite fit the shoulder of the bolt through the far pull rod. It will seem to tighten up ok...but after a bit of a ride, the rod will fall off the bolt shoulder and the whole mess will be loose. You'll pound your pull rod holes out of round and goober the bolts to boot.


...and you'll wonder howcome your bike is:
1. Making so much noise, and
2. Handling like stink (or at least slightly odoriferous).

Pull rods....dog bones....the same.

The seals GET flush or properly seated when they are squeezed during the tightening process. It's hard to get them that way when they are full of grease.

You can use something like a c-clamp to squeeze/hold the pull rods in place whilst you snug the nut down.

Just make sure that the shoulder of the bolt is indeed INside the hole in the pull rod...not hung up on the edge of it.

Oh...I know about this only 'cuz someone TOLD me about it. I'D never do such a thing myself.

Had to come up with SOME reason to buy a nice, pretty billet pull rod set from devol.....;)
