Suspension fluid

Post by Taximan »

Can you see the fluid in the bottle easily or not because a have looked at mine and a can't see a thing.

When a take the cap off there's fluid in there but don't no if it needs topped up or not because a can't see any fluid in the bottle what so ever thanks

To check the LDS fluid levels you need to bottom out the suspension first. Then, when you take the cap off the reservoir, you will see a series of vertical slots in a basket like affair. These slots have two heights, and the LDS should bet between the lower and upper slots.

No, just put suspension to lowest setting and wait until it lowers. You can switch off and check levels then.
