SETTING SAG
To get the best performance from your F SERIES/FX fork, it is necessary to set and adjust sag. Generally, sag should be set to 15 – 25% of total fork
travel.
1. Unscrew the blue aircap (see diagram on left) on top of the left fork leg to expose the Schrader valve.
2. Attach a FOX Racing Shox High Pressure Pump to the Schrader valve (see
USING THE FOX HIGH PRESSURE AIR PUMP
on page 8).
3. Using the
AIR SPRING SETTINGS
table below, remove the blue air topcap on top of the left fork leg and pump your
F-series fork to the appropriate setting using the Pump.
4. Install a zip tie with light friction on the upper tube and push it down until it contacts the fork seal. Carefully sit on
the bike and assume a normal riding position. The fork should compress slightly. Being careful not to further compress
the fork, dismount the bicycle. Measure the distance between the seal and the zip tie. This distance is sag.
5. Compare your sag measurement to the
SAG SETUP
table below.
If your sag is lower than on the table
, screw on the pump fitting, note the current air pressure setting and depress the black bleed-valve to reduce
the gauge pressure by 5 psi. Measure sag again and repeat adjustment if necessary.
If your sag is higher than on the table
, screw on the pump fitting, note the current air pressure setting and pump to increase the gauge pressure
by 5 psi. Measure sag again and repeat adjustment if necessary.
6. Screw the blue aircap back on, and go ride.
