KONA OWNER’S MANUAL
ties as a rider. Increasing your skill will take time and prac-
tice. Proceed carefully until you have learned to handle the
full capabilities of your bike.
WARNING: Not all bicycles can be safely retrotted
with some types of suspension systems. Before retrotting
the suspension of any Kona bicycle, check with Kona to
make sure that what you want to do is compatible with the
bicycle’s design, and whether the warranty will be voided.
Failing to do so can result in catastrophic frame failure.
G) SERVICE NOTES FOR KONA FULL SUSPENSION
Contaminated bearings can rust & seize, and
cause
frame damage. Additionally, worn-out bearings can create
additional, or unecessary linkage movement or "play"
and may also cause frame damage. Regularly inspect the
bearings and
make sure that they allow the linkage to
move freely.
It is best to take your full-suspension bike to a bike
shop to have its linkage, rear shock, and suspension
fork inspected periodically. Suspension manufacturer
recommended service intervals vary from brand to brand.
However, most fork manufacturers recommend having
the lowers serviced: often cleaning, replacing seals and
replacing uid, every 20-50 hours of ride time, and based
on performance preferences and severity of your riding
environment. Roughly every 100 hours of riding, many
manufacturers recommend a full fork overhaul, including
servicing the damper.
Rear suspension service recommendations vary brand
to brand as well, but generally involve 40-60 hour
recommendations for minor services including new seals,
uid and cleaning for air shocks, and often closer to 100
hour ride time service intervals for coil shocks.
Please follow the suspension manufacturer recommended
guidelines for your suspension fork and rear shock service
intervals.
WARNING: Failure to adhere to suspension
service intervals may void your suspension fork
manufacturer or rear shock manufacturer's
warranty.
WARNING: Failure to service or regularly
service your suspension can lead to a loss of
performance, excessive wear, and may result in
unsafe suspension that could cause loss of control
or even death.
H) TIRES AND TUBES
1. TIRES: Bicycle tires are available in many designs and
specications, ranging from general-purpose designs to
tires designed to perform best under very specic weather
or terrain conditions. If, once you’ve gained experience
with your new bike, you feel that a different tire might bet-
ter suit your riding needs,
your dealer can help you
select the most appropriate
design.
The size, pressure rating,
and on some high-
performance tires, the
specic recommended use,
are marked on the sidewall
of the tire [see Fig. 17].
The part of this information
which is most important to
you is Tire Pressure. But 27
