Use a solid, level surface to position the bike on a motorcycle lift and use all recommended safety techniques. Lift the bike so the rear wheel is just slightly off the ground.
1
Remove the left and right side covers, then remove both saddle bags. Ensure that all electrical connections are disconnected if applicable. (Figures 1, 2, 3, 4)
2
Remove the seat and leather strap bracket if applicable. (Figures 5, 6)
3
Remove the right foot peg and the lower right side cover. (Figures 7, 8)
4
Remove all rear fender trim on both sides, including antenna. (Figures 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
5
Remove rear outside fender bolts and plastic pins. (Figures 15, 16, 17)
6
Loosen the rear inside fender bolts on both sides until they are about half-way out. Then, lift the rear of the fender and slide it back to expose the lower shock bolt. Remove the shock air fill nut. (Figures 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
7
For model years 2019 - current: Remove the upper linkage snap ring and pull out the linkage pin. (Figures 23, 24, 25, 26)
8
Supporting the motorcycle under the motor with a jack, remove the upper and lower shock bolts. Then, remove the shock. (Figures 28, 29, 30)
It is recommended to carefully grind down a side of the flange on the shock’s top mount bolt for ease of removal and later installation of the new shock. The hardware will be reused. (Figure 27)
9
Raise the rear tire with a jack to prepare for compressor installation. (Figure 31)
10
The black wire on the compressor will be grounded with one of the Compressor mount bolts. (Figure 32)
11
With the supplied bolts, mount the Compressor under the motorcycle to the threaded holes circled below and tighten firmly. (Figures 33, 34, 35, 36)
12
Connect the supplied red wire extension and 1/4” air line to the compressor, then bundle the two together in the split loom. (Figures 37, 38)
13
Feed the loom up the frame. (Figures 39, 40)
For model years 2014-2019, the shock eyelets need to be replaced with those found in kit # 21-23637.
14
For model years 2014-2019, remove and replace shock eyelets with those found in kit #21-23637. (Figures 41, 42, 43)
15
Screw a VOSS fitting into the air shock, finger tight. Then, remove the white shipping pin. Insert the 4mm air hose into the fitting until you feel it seat. (Figures 44, 45, 46)
16
Remove the fitting from the shock and confirm the keeper is on the hose. Reinsert the fitting to the shock and tighten firmly with a wrench. (Figures 47, 48)
17
Install the shock in the motorcycle with the air hose facing the right side. Tighten the upper and lower shock bolts. (Figures 49, 50, 51)
18
Mount the manifold bracket to the manifold in the orientation shown below. Then, using the supplied washer and screw, mount the manifold to the nut insert in the frame. (Figures 52, 53, 54)
19
Feed the 1/4” air line from the compressor loom behind the battery to the manifold. Make sure that the hose will not rub on the drive belt or touch the exhaust. Trim hose to length and insert into manifold as shown. (Figures 55, 56)
20
Route the 4mm air line from the shock toward the manifold. Trim the hose to length. Place a VOSS fitting on the air line. Insert fitting and collet onto air line as shown. (Figures 57, 58)
21
Screw the fitting into the manifold as shown and snug tight with a wrench. (Figures 59, 60)
22
Remove the lower clutch perch bolt and discard. Using the supplied bolt and spacer, mount the handle bar switch to the perch. (Figures 61, 62)
23
Remove the two rear fuel tank mount bolts and disconnect the vent hose. This will allow you to move the tank enough to fish the handle bar switch wire down the frame under the tank. (Figures 63, 64, 65, 66)
24
Remove the battery cover then, following the wiring diagram in the back of this manual, complete the electrical connections. (Figures 67, 68)
25
MC-5833 & MC-5834 kits have rebound-adjustable shocks. The rebound damping force can be increased or decreased to suit the rider’s preference. Increasing the rebound damping will slow the speed at which the shock extends after it is compressed. This is usually desirable when running higher air pressures than normal for a single rider. For example, riding 1 up would require lower air pressure and less rebound damping than riding 2 up with a fully loaded motorcycle. The increased air pressure is trying to extend the shock faster. This can lead to an uncontrolled bouncy feeling in the rear of the motorcycle. Increasing the rebound damping will help slow down the extension and make a more controlled feeling. (Figures 69, 70)
