Tuning Shock Absorber Compensation BWS-LOSI TPS2855/08

The shock Absorber has standard no, (suffient), volume compensation, (which equals the volume of the shock Absorber rod coming in and going out the damper housing, so there must always be an amount of air in the damper but this can mix with the oil which means very bad damping. This POM compensation set is very easy to install, simply mount this in the damping housing, no modification needed!

Prior to assembly, we recommend lubricating the POM bushing, the oil seal, and the shock absorber rod with a little silicone oil.

Fill and Bleed:

• 1)   Remove the oil when necessary
• 2)   Fill the damper up to 10 mm below the rim with new oil
• 3)   Now gently push the rod upwards to just below the oil level
• 4)   Now gently pull the rod back down
• 5)   Now let the damper stand upright for 5-15 minutes so that the air bubbles can come out, (the time depends on the oil thickness)
• 6)   Repeat steps 4 and 5 until there are no more air bubbles in the oil.
• 7)   Now push the rod halfway up the damper
• 8)   Now gently press the red cap without O-ring on so that the excess oil can come out
• 9)   Remove the cap, fit the O-ring and push the cap into the body as far as it will go
• 10) Now screw the cap on.
• 11) The bound and rebound can be set by the amount of oil.
