ADDITIONAL TUNING OPTIONS
VOLUME SPACERS
Changing volume spacers in the shock is an internal adjustment that allows you to change the amount of mid
stroke and bottom out resistance. If you have set your sag correctly and are using full travel (bottoming out) too
easily, then you could install more spacers to increase bottom out resistance. If you have set your sag correctly
and are not using full travel, then you could install fewer spacers to decrease bottom out resistance. Installation
procedure and tuning options are available online at: ridefox.com/ownersmanuals.
VOLUME SPACER INSTALLATION
1. Remove the black air cap and thread on your FOX shock
pump. Slowly release all air from the main air chamber with
your pump while firmly pulling the shock apart as it deflates.
This will prevent the air from transfering to the negative
chamber and "sucking" the shock in. Then remove the
pump. Verify that all air has been released by depressing the
Schrader valve.
2. Rotate the wire retaining ring to align the opening in the ring
with one of the eyelet tabs. Use a pick to remove the ring from
the groove, rotating the ring as needed to fully remove it.
3. Ensure the alignment dots on the XV sleeve are correctly
aligned (see page 4). You will need to realign these dots
during installation. Slide the XV sleeve away from the negative
air sealhead to remove it.
Remove the rebound knob or apply a strip of tape over it to
prevent the inside of the XV sleeve from getting scratched,
which can cause air leaks.
4. Remove or install volume spacers as needed, making sure not
to exceed the maximum number of spacers for your shock's
travel (determined by the ribs on the inside of the XV sleeve).
Mix and match the 1 cc and 2 cc spacers to provide
1 cc increments. Apply a thin layer of Slick Honey to the
air seals, then reinstall the XV sleeve as shown (bottom
image). Rotate the XV sleeve until the alignment dots are
correctly aligned. This must be one of the correct air valve
clearance locations as discussed on page 5.
5. Slide the XV sleeve down to the negative air sealhead to
engage the air seals.
6. Reinstall the wire retaining ring, and make sure that it is
fully seated in its groove.
7. Install the shock on your bike and cycle through the entire
stroke. Ensure there is at least 3 mm of clearance between
any portion of the shock and the frame.
8. Attach your shock pump then add air while you slowly
cycle your shock through 25% of its travel 10 times as
you reach your desired pressure. Reinstall the black
air cap.
