Service
It is compulsory to clean your shocks immediately after every use! Nothing is worse for your shock’s seals than dry mud.
It is very simple to clean your shocks: wipe off the body and the seal with a clean, soft rag. Occasionally lube the stanchion (with
fork oil). Warning: Do not under any circumstances use degreaser, solvent, or any abrasive material.
If you power wash your bike, do not point the hose toward the seals! It will only push the mud inside the seal and get it stuck
between the body and the seals and scratch your stanchions.

Caution :
We recommend doing the oil service and full service at a BOS approved center. Only the BOS approved centers are able
to identify and appraise a damaged or worn part, especially in case of shock or wear on structural elements such as the
body, the mounting kits, and the shaft.
