               1 10mm Wrench

               1 4mm Allen head key

Installation

 

1, Remove the old shock absorbers. The 2 original bolts with washers (rear attachment) will be used again for the Soft Ride  installation.

 

2, Install  Soft Ride , with all hoses oriented upwards. Be careful with all hoses and do not remove any of them. It is also important not to turn the shock absorbers while the nut for the forward attachment is tightened.  

 

3, Install the Lever accumulator with the clamps. Place the Level accumulator beneath parallel to swing axle. Fit the clamps to the swing axle and Level accumulator, do not tighten them yet. Warning!!! Do NOT turn the knob on the level accumulator before the hose from the shock absorbers are connected.

Remove the protection plug from the Level accumulator and the yellow protection cap from the hose. Connect the hose to the Level accumulator. Adjust the position of the Level accumulator and tighten the clamps. Depending on the position of the Level accumulator a minor cut out may have to be made in the belt cover.

4, The installation is now finished. The motorcycle is now in it’s lowest level which will affect the angle of the motorcycle when it’s parked on it’s stand. Because of this, be careful so that the motorcycle do not tip over after removing the lift device. Rest the motorcycle on it’s stand and turn the knob  on the Level accumulator (counter clock wise), the motorcycle will now raise to it’s highest level. Sit on the motorcycle and it will go down to it’s lowest level.

The level  can be set anywere between the highest and lowest level by shutting the knob when desired level is obtained.

In the case that the motorcycle is heavier than normal for some reason, it may need a little help to reach the highest position.
