Stipes shocks help
I just received a set of Stipes shocks and there are no instructions as to their use. Does anyone have a set of instructions or aren't there any? I emailed them but no reply. I'd like to get them on this weekend. Thanks, David

Re: Stipes shocks help
MMMM I did receive a set of instructions with mine. Let me dig around on my book shelf. I just bolted mine up and away I went. They should be engraved "clockwise and anti clockwise" On of our senior tech guys in the club said not to mess with adjusting them. Just bolt and go. As I recall in the instructions it says how to adjust if needed.

Re: Stipes shocks help
They are preset when they are shipped. Only after you have driven it some should you adjust them.

Re: Stipes shocks help
Detailed adjustment instructions are in the Service Bulletins. This reference to looking in the book is not politically correct to some. But there it is. I also agree that you should use them as delivered from the factory.

Re: Stipes shocks help
So the AC and the CW are the same for Stipes as per the service bulletins?

Re: Stipes shocks help
The instructions Benson posted are what came with my Stipe Shock. Ensure you check the adjustment, two of mine were open more than the ¼ turn stated in the instructions.

Re: Stipes shocks help
I had to adjust the valves when I received mine. I set them at approx. 1/4 open, and fine tuned them from there.
