What is done during a 5th Element Coil Full Service?
Before any service work is carried out the shock is cleaned and hand dyno’d to check its operation. It’s then stripped and all oil seals/o-rings are removed prior to cleaning the individual parts. Once cleaned and dried the parts are inspected before fitting new genuine 5th Element large and small Control Valve Quad Rings, Seal Head O-rings and wiper, IFP O-ring and if necessary, Main Piston ring. Then we assemble everything in accordance with factory procedures, put oil in the important places and bleed the air out of it. Then we pump her up and set the adjusters back to your original settings and a new set of eyelet bushes is fitted. Finally we do a leak test for air before popping it on the hand dyno to check all the adjusters do what they’re meant to do and then send it back.
