1. How to bleed brakes:
No big secret – no fancy tools – well maybe
one but it’s a tool few people today seem to want to use –
that’s the brain!!!!!!
- Everything
has to be angled so no air can get trapped at a high
spot!!!!!!!!! Use your head here – the master cylinder must be
angled so the outlet hole is the low point!!!! The caliper must
be angled so the bleeder is the high point!!!! Don’t want to
take the time to figure this one out – don’t bother to read
on.
- Now
put a 8 foot length of 3/16 inch clear hose on the bleeder and
open it 1 turn.
- Fill
the master cylinder and keep it full!!!!!!! If you cant keep it
full – don’t proceed!!!!!!
- Now
suck on the hose till fluid comes half way up the hose.
- Close
the bleeder.
- Pump
the brakes a few times.
- Remove
the hose.
- Open
the bleeder and let the final bubbles push out with gravity DO
NOT PUMP THE BRAKES WITH THE BLEEDER OPEN-------EVER.
- Pump
the brakes again and repeat step 8.
- Now
you are done – if the brakes are not bled – you missed
something!!!!!!!
2. How to measure ride height.
There
are 2 places you need to measure from the bottom of the frame to the
ground (with rider standing on the pegs):
1)
Right at the foot pegs
2)
22 inches forward from foot pegs
To measure ride height - the rider must be standing on the foot
pegs and the measurement needs to be taken from the bottom of the
frame to the ground at the 2 points mentioned above.

3. How to measure race sag.
1.
Race sag is the amount the quad settles from fully extended
with the rider on board. First,
put the quad up on a stand,
measure the distance from the axle (vertically) to some point on the
sub frame (make a mark if you need to).
2.
Take the quad off the stand, put the rider on board standing
on the pegs, have the rider hold onto something for balance, bounce
up and down a little to stabilize the rear end.
Now again measure the distance from the axle to the point on
the sub frame where you took the measurement in #1.
3.
Now deduct the measurement from #2 from the measurement in
#1. This is your Race
Sag.
4.
To adjust Race Sag tighten or loosen the preload adjusting
collars. If you have
too much race sag, you need more preload, too little race sag you
need less preload.
