Travel Settings:
Your Warp DS Series frame gives you the ability to change the travel from 4” to
5” with minimal effort. This is accomplished by two positions for the rear shock
pivot bolt.
To change the travel (See Drawing #8):
1. Using a 5mm Allen wrench, remove the rear shock mounting bolt.
2. Pivot the shock up or down to align the eyelet with one of the two holes.
The upper position is 4” travel and the lower position is 5” travel.
3. Install the bolt and tighten to the proper torque of 90-110 Kgf/cm. (78-95 in-
lbs.).
4. After any adjustment is made to travel, you will need to readjust your spring
preload setting as described in the preceding section.
Maintenance (See Drawing #8):
The Warp DS Series frame is designed to be as maintenance free as possible.
However, before every ride, it is important that you inspect the frame pivots for
any looseness or play.
1. If there is play, remove the main pivot bolt, clean, and apply blue Loctite
TM
.
2. Reinstall pivot bolt to appropriate torque value (see below).
3. If there is still play in the main pivot, please see your Authorized Giant
Dealer to have your bike inspected for any needed repairs
