DO NOT inflate the air suspension system until it is installed. Inflation of the air suspension system before both ends are supported by the motorcycle’s frame and/or appropriate suspension components may result in serious personal injury and/or damage to the air suspension system. The maximum recommended air spring inflation pressure is 200 psi.

Avoid damage to air lines and electrical components. Removal and installation is only to be performed by fully qualified personnel.

Damage to the motorcycle and air suspension system can be incurred if work is carried out in a manner other than specified in the instructions or in a different sequence.

Each owner or installer is unique, therefore installation of this system can be done many different ways. The mounting locations of the compressor and inflation switch are suggestions by our engineers. If proper wiring guidelines and instructions are followed, relocation of the compressor or switch will neither affect the system operation nor void your warranty.

Adjust air shock pressure as required for desired ride quality to maximize the benefits of your system. Excess pressure will result in a firmer ride, too little pressure will allow the suspension to bottom out.

To avoid the possibility of short circuits while working with electric components consult your owner's manual on how to disconnect your battery.

Refer to the Owner’s Manual for the bike and instructions for the motorcycle lift for all correct lifting procedures. It is also recommended that you protect any chrome or painted surfaces that may be damaged during lifting, removal or installation process.

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.

3. Remove the three screws attaching the right electrical panel. Tie the panel up to gain access to the shock and linkage behind it. (FIGURES 5,6)

4. With a twisting motion, remove the shock guard from the frame. (FIGURES 7, 8)

6. Remove the bolts from the lower shock and linkage clevis. (FIGURES 11, 12)

7. Remove the white electrical module near the shock from the frame. (FIGURES 13, 14)

8. Pull the upper linkage pin from the frame. Lower the linkage and remove the linkage push rod. (FIGURES 15, 16)

9. Remove the shock from the frame and remove the linkage from the upper eyelet. (FIGURES 17, 18)

10. Screw one of the included VOSS fittings into the air shock. Pull out the white plug and then insert the included 4mm air hose until you feel it seat. Remove the fitting from the shock and confirm that the keeper is attached to the hose. Screw the VOSS fitting back into the shock and snug tight with a 10mm wrench. (FIGURES 19, 20, 21, 22)

11. Mount the air shock to the linkage in the orientation shown below. Route the air line up and over the shock. (FIGURES 23, 24)

12. Put the shock and linkage in the frame. Route the air hose through the left side of the motorcycle. Attach the linkage push rod to the linkage. (FIGURES 25, 26, 27, 28)

13. Locate the lower shock and linkage push rod clevis over the swing arm. Push the upper linkage into the frame and insert the pin. Insert the pin keeper screw back into the frame and tighten. Insert and tighten the shock clevis bolt to the factory recommended torque followed by the linkage push rod. (FIGURES 29, 30, 31, 32)
