Protege/Cypress DS/MTX 250 DS
The Protege/Cypress DS/MTX 250 DS incorporates a simple yet effective
suspension system that will smooth out your daily rides. Please follow the
guidelines below to setup your Protege/Cypress DS/MTX 250 DS.
Setup (See Drawing #9):
1) The shock should be set to sag 10mm or 1/4 of its stroke while the rider is
seated on the bike in riding gear.
2) To measure the travel you can position the rubber top out bumper (B) on the
shaft to the top of the shock (B1) to measure the amount of compression/
movement.
3) If the shock compresses less than 10mm. You need to reduce the pre-load on
the spring by turning the spring collar (C) counterclockwise.
4) If the shock compresses more than 10mm, you need to increase the pre-load
on the spring by turning the spring collar (C) clockwise.
5) If you need to turn the spring collar more than 6 turns to achieve the proper
pre-load, you need to get a heavier spring from you Authorized Giant
Dealer.
6) If you have difficulty tuning the shock, please see your Authorized Giant
Dealer.
