) Compress the rear shock several times.
) Make sure that the rear shock responds perfectly and with sufficient
sensitivity.
) Check the air pressure.
) Check the tension and ease of operation of the RCL² inner cable –
make sure that the corresponding dial immediately responds to your
actuating the RCL² or adjust it if necessary.
L L MAGURA rear shocks have internal permanent lubrication and excellent
sealing material so that very little maintenance work is required for the
internal components. Once a year, you will need to have your MAGURA
rear shock serviced in a professional bicycle workshop or by an autho-
rised MAGURA service centre.
If you are a frequent user, also consider the fact that this exposes your
rear shock to more wear and thus requires more frequent maintenance
intervals and checks.
