Checks, care and maintenance of the

MERIDA rear shock

15.3.1 Care

Generally, all the rear frame needs in terms of

care is a thorough cleaning around the rear

shock, the moving rear stays and the area

around the bearings. Do not use a steam jet

or aggressive cleaning agents!

Make sure from time to time to also clean the

engaging surfaces of the rear shock from dust

and dirt with a soft rag. Get into the habit of

doing this every time you return from a ride

through dusty terrain or rain and dirt.

15.3 Checks, care and maintenance of the rear shock

You can also gently clean

the whole rear frame, as

well as the entire bike,

with a soap-based bike

cleaning agent. We rec-

ommend MOTOREX

cleaning products.

This job can be done with soft cotton rags.

Always make sure the protective caps

are screwed onto the valves when

cleaning your bike. Thinners and aggressive

cleaning agents are liable to damage seals

and stickers. Do not use abrasive cleaning

agents, such as steel wool, polish or the

like.

The lower end of the piston rod and the

adjoining end of the rear shock should regu-

larly be cleaned, dried and lubricated.

After cleaning your bike apply

a little spray, e.g. Motorex Joker

440, to the upper and lower

bases of the rear shock and the

joints of the connection pieces.

This provides lubrication and

makes for silent riding.

15.3.2 Check

Every 30 to 40 hours of riding, check the

bearing of the swing arm for side-to-side

play and the bearing of the rear shock for

vertical play.

To check the rear swing arm for play, lift the

bike by the saddle and try to move the rear

wheel from side to side.

If necessary, ask a helper to keep the front

part of the frame still while you do this.
