Install the shock. 2. Remove the main air chamber air cap and let all the air out of the main air chamber. 3. Carefully cycle the suspension through its entire travel. 4. Check that all parts of the shock are clear of the frame and swingarm as it cycles through the travel. 5. Pressurize your main air chamber to a minimum of 50 PSI and no more than 300 PSI. You will tune to a more specific air pressure in the Setting Sag section below. 6. Set sag. Fox Racing Shox 2009 Owners Manual FLOAT RP23 Page 233
General Maintenance There may be a small amount of air sleeve lubricant residue on the body. This is normal. If this residual air sleeve lubricant is not present, this is an indication that the air sleeve should be re-lubricated. Some other things to consider for all shock models: • If you ride in extreme conditions, service your shock and air sleeve more frequently. See “Service Intervals” on page 303 to check the maintenance schedule for your shock. • Wash your shock with soap and water only. • Do not use a high pressure washer to clean your shock. • Internal service should be performed by FOX Racing Shox or an Authorized Service Center; see “Contact FOX” on page 321. Before You Ride 1. Clean the outside of your shock with soap and water and wipe dry with a soft dry rag. Caution: Do not use a high pressure washer on your shock. 2. Inspect entire exterior of shock for damage. The shock should not be used if any of the exterior parts appear to be damaged. Contact your local dealer or FOX Racing Shox for further inspection and repair. 3. Check that quick-release levers (or thru-axle pinch bolts) are properly adjusted and tightened. 4. Check headset adjustment. If loose, adjust according to manufacturer’s recommendations. 5. Check that brake cables or hoses are properly fastened. 6. Check that the front and rear brakes operate properly on flat land. Setting Sag To set sag: 1. Measure sag (see “Measuring Sag” on page 246), and compare it to the recommended sag setting shown in the Air Spring Setting Guidelines table below. Continue if the sag is not set to specification. 2. Locate the Schrader air valve on the shock and remove the air valve cap. 3. Screw the FOX Racing Shox High Pressure Pump onto the air valve until the pump shows pressure on the gauge. Do not over-tighten; see “Using the FOX High Pressure Pump” on page 316. 4. Add air pressure until desired pressure is shown on the gauge. Refer to the Air Spring Setting Guidelines table below for the proper sag setting. 5. Unthread the pump from the air valve and measure sag. Fox Racing Shox 2009 Owners Manual FLOAT RP23 Page 234
