REAR SHOCK SAG SETTING
To achieve the best performance from your FOX suspension,
adjust the air pressure to attain your proper sag setting. Sag
is the amount your suspension compresses under your weight
and riding gear. Sag range should be set to 25–30% of total
shock travel.
Make sure the compression adjuster is in the Soft
(open) position.
1. Start by setting the shock air pressure (psi) to
match your weight in pwounds. With the air
pump attached to the shock valve, slowly cycle
your shock through 25% of its travel 10 times
as you reach your desired pressure. This will
equalize the positive and negative air chambers
and will change the pressure on the pump
gauge.
Do not exceed 350 psi, the maximum Live
rear shock air pressure!
2. Remove the pump.
3. Sit still on the bike in your normal riding position,
using a wall or a tree for support.
4. Pull the sag indicator o-ring up against the
rubber air sleeve seal.
5. Carefully dismount the bike without bouncing.
6. Measure the distance between the sag indicator
o-ring and the rubber air sleeve seal. Compare
your measurement to the 'Suggested Sag
Measurements' table.
7. Add or remove air pressure until you reach your
desired sag measurement.
