Troubleshooting
Launch control does not engage securely
Ensure the correct size is being used and the mounting location is clean. Verify the 4-point button is properly seated and the dual hinges are fully closed.
Difficulty engaging or disengaging the launch control
Check for dirt or debris obstruction. Clean the mechanism thoroughly. Ensure the fork leg is free of damage or deformation.
Front end still lifts excessively with launch control engaged
Confirm the launch control is mounted at the correct height as per the template and instructions. Ensure the fork is compressing adequately before engagement.
