THE PERFECT FIT
ETS ACE Adjustments
The ETS ACE (Adjustable Control Electronics) is a new feature
available for some ETS rear suspensions. It enables a rider to easily
adjust the suspension for weight and riding style.
The ETS ACE is an electronically controlled module that replaces the
standard ETS RCA. The ACE changes the rear shock motion ratio by
moving the lower shock pivot point a total of 1 1/4 inches, the same
amount of adjustment as the standard RCA. A gauge on the console
displays the current position of the shock, from soft to firm or
somewhere in between.
ETS ACE Settings
A switch labeled “ESC” on the left-hand control assembly is used to
adjust the position of the ACE module. The following instructions
describe all the features programmed into the ACE module.
1. By pressing the left hand control switch up (firm) or down (soft)
one time, the lower pivot moves .14 inch, giving the operator a
total of nine distinct positions. The console gauge will show the
current ACE position.
2. If the soft or firm switch is pressed more than one time in
succession, it will adjust as many increments as the switch is
pressed. The electronics will “do the math” for the user to
minimize travel time. For example, if the rider pushes “firm”
twice, and then “soft” three times, the unit will move to one
position softer than the current position.
3. If the soft or firm switch is held for five seconds or more, the ACE
will adjust to the far end of the travel, corresponding to which
button was pressed.
4. A fail-safe mode has been programmed into the controller to
protect the electronics and to notify the operator of a system
malfunction. If the module cannot adjust the suspension after one
of the switches has been pressed (most likely due to an obstruction
or heavy ice buildup), the controller will enter a failure mode,
which is indicated by the gauge needle moving rapidly between
soft and firm. This mode will continue indefinitely and is reset
when the engine is turned off and restarted. If this mode is
encountered, we recommend that the operator turn off the engine
and inspect the unit for any obstruction or ice buildup on the shock
or module.
