Stumpjumper triad shock lever

DTM12

I have an 08 stumpjumper comp with the fox triad rear shock fitted as standard.

I am wondering whther my shock lever is ok. It has three positions Propedal, open and locked. My question is this there is a definate click and a clear location in the bottom two positions (i.e open and propedal) but when I turn the lever to the upper postion (locked) there is no definate postion for the lever, it is free to move around in the upper zone is this ok ?

pics of the positions as i think you have it in the wrong position.

you have read the manual?

ok does it look like this?


this the rp3 and it has only three positions. 2 clicks when rotated anti clockwise from the position show. it will still move in the other part of the arc but does nothing.

Rockhopper

mine does that as well.

DR650s

Yep mine too, and the two I checked out in two seperate shops, so I think it's safe to say it's supposed to do that.

If you imagine the triad lever as a clockfingers, when looking at it in the bike the lever is totally slack and free between the 1'o clock and 10 o clock positions. I assume everyone elses is the same. I guess this is ok, but it does seem odd on such a quality unit.

Its normal and nothing to do with quality.
