7. Place the fender onto the TRIO shock assembly
with mounting bracket and hardware as shown.
Ensure that the mounting hardware, upper TRIO
bracket, spacers, and fender are lined up and the
hardware is through all necessary pieces.
8. Remount fender and TRIO assembly to the under-
side of the motorcycle's lower triple clamp. Torque
to the specification listed below.
TORQUE
13Nm (9.5 ft/lbs)
9. Place the lower eyelet of the TRIO shock into the
original rear spindle block spacer location. The
Timbersled TRIO shock is designed to have
around ¼" of pre-load when installed. This may
cause the TRIO shock to appear to be too long
when mounting into the rear spindle block spacer
location.
For easy installation while maintaining proper pre-
load of the TRIO shock, bleed off the air pressure
in the main shock chamber of the TRIO shock until
you can compress the shock the necessary
amount to line up the lower mounting eyelet of the
TRIO shock with the mounting hole of the spindle
block. Insert the M10x1.5" rear spindle block
bolt Cwhen aligned and tighten nut D. Torque to
the specifications listed below.
If your TRIO shock is too short for installation,
loosen the pinch bolts on the motorcycles triple
clamps and slide your motorcycle fork tubes up
until the center of the rear spindle block bolt hole is
¼" above the center of the lower TRIO shock
mounting eyelet. Tighten the motorcycle triple
clamp pinch bolts and torque to OEM
manufacturer’s specifications. This will ensure you
maintain a ¼" of preload on the TRIO shock when
installed. Next, bleed off the air pressure in the
main chamber of the TRIO shock until you can
compress the shock enough to line up the lower
eyelet of the shock with the mounting hole of the
spindle block. Insert the M10x1.5" rear spindle
block bolt Cwhen aligned and tighten nut D.
Torque to the specifications listed below.
IMPORTANT
Ensure the TRIO shock has a minimum of a ¼" pre-
load when installed. The TRIO shock can become
damaged if shock tops-out before motorcycle forks
do at full extension during riding.
TORQUE
50 Nm (40 ft/lbs)
